Gingrich’s pants were unzipped at the time. He and Bubba shared a lot of the same immaturities. Both products of broken marriages, parallel lives in some ways.
Newtie was not a sex predator like Bubba the Rapist, as he married his mistresses (not that it excuses it).

He should’ve treated them and the media with absolute contempt, like Trump.
