The daughters were making campaign appearances and writing editorials defending their Dad against media lies and distortions before this broke. Strangely, their efforts to correct the record never get reported on. I’m sure he didn’t “task” them with this. I’d do the same if a network tried to take my Dad down.
That’s a reasoned response. I still maintain this is something I would ask my kids not to respond to.
There are only two people who know if what his wife said was true or not. His daughters mean well, but their opinions about this are worthless.
This really reveals the extent of how vile cheating is. When you cheat on your wife, it’s in some ways more like cheating on just about everyone.
Here we are discussing his moral fiber, and with reason. And neither of us is particularly sure how bad it was/is. Does Newt view his fidelity to his wives to take second place when compared to his fidelity to the public?
Is he more faithful to our expectations, than the expectations of his wives? Perhaps so. And if so, what does that say about the guy?
I’m not a fan of Newt, but this causes me to not only squirm because of him, but also to squirm for him. Still, as I said before, Newt has nobody to blame for this but himself.
