The claim is correct MOST of the baggage is false and he’s not ‘very flawed’.
Nice try though. It’s clear your getting your info from the MSM or Mitten’s camp cause if you’d looked anything up you’d see the truth.

He’s not “very flawed”? Come on. Take your head out of the sand.
His personal life is a certifiable clusterf*ck. He’s on his third marriage. He cheated with a subordinate while in office, then left his second wife for his mistress. There is still no good answer to the Clinton-era question ... “if his own wife(s) can’t trust him, why should I?”
He had ethics problems in the House — though the details are vague. He did a global warming propaganda campaign with Nancy Pelosi, of all people. He’s made some really weird statements about “right-wing social engineering”, the end of the Reagan era, etc., etc. That’s just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head.
Those are facts. They’re bad facts. They suck. They create vulnerabilities for Gingrich and his supporters ... and those vulnerabilities are entirely the fault of Newt Gingrich. Ignoring them doesn’t help ... opponents and voters won’t ignore them.
The reality of Newt Gingrich is what it is — he is very flawed, has a lot of baggage, but he’s a hell of a debater, and may be the best option available. I’d vote for him without hesitation in the GE, and maybe even the primary ... but he’ll never be the easiest sell.
We can’t pretend Newt Gingrich’s past didn’t happen. It did. We have to acknowledge it, and perhaps help voters come to tersm with it.
