An ex-wife of Newt Gingrich told ABC News’s “Nightline” that the Republican presidential candidate wanted an “open marriage.”
In a published clip of Brian Ross’s interview with Marianne Gingrich, which will air tonight, Marianne Gingrich said her husband wanted her to accept the fact that he had a mistress. “He was asking to have an open marriage and I refused,” she said.
Marianne Gingrich said Newt Gingrich admitted to his six-year affair with Callista, a congressional aide who is now married to the candidate. Newt Gingrich allegedly said Callista “doesn’t care what I do.”
Asked for her response, Marianne Gingrich said she responded, “No, that is not a marriage.”
According to ABC News, Marianne Gingrich will say her husband does not have the moral character to be president. She will express her shock at learning that her husband conducted his affair with Callista “in my bedroom in our apartment in Washington.”

You betcha!
If that was true she very likely was wheeler-dealing for herself with an idea of a later bait-and-switch involving that Israeli trade group and the felon arms-dealer Soghanalian.
That FBI story is already bubbling up on the internet.
Conservatives must roll the dice and demand Gingrich face-down the ex-wife or take a powder.
BTW...Santorum is the ONLY candidate that has explained the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution correctly - no one else is even close.
I happen to believe in those contracts. They must be something different to you - living and breathing maybe? Or do they just belong in a museum and are an interesting piece of history?
Because if you keep supporting Newt that is where they are going to end up.
“So now he trots out his family members to show that he’s not who he is”
That is your opinion and a vile one at that. I think he loves his wife, children and grand children and being a grandfather. Shame on you. GO NEWT GO!
Uh...yes she was. When Newt was married to #1, Marianne “was sleeping around” with Newt.
If you take the all the report sources as anything more thingthan
I don’t like Newt, I think he’s scum, but this is the hand the GOP has dealt us.
I do think of all the candidates Newt still has the best shot at beating Obama, and that’s not a great shot, at that.
In my book, this shows that it’s time for GOP to join the ash heap of history....take the good GOP politicians in place, and create a new movement from the GOP’s ashes, and banish those who have gotten the party to its’ lowly state.
The story I read was that newt told them he could not take money, but they could pay his wife. I looked for it last night, but could not locate the story. It is bookmarked in my crashed computer.
Thanks for that info. It really speaks volumes...
Incredible how much of a POS Newt really is.
To understand the progressives in our country people really need to study the Fabian Socialists and their imagery...
Re-shape the world in they image they want it to be and what is their most important icon - A WOLF IN SHEEP’s CLOTHING!!!
People are suckers and our country is doomed!
You are one sickening, vile SOB. Gingrich is a saint compared to your kind, exchanging you hateful sewage amongst yourselves. You are what you are, too bad you are the last to see it!
I sort of agree. The GOP is in its death throes. Conservatives don’t have much of a choice.
We need our own third party. We almost had it with Sarah Palin, but then she quit.
What to do next?
Not quite the same (if the stories are to be believed) - being with someone who is divorcing is bad but not nearly as bad as being with someone who is married and who’s spouse doesn’t know it’s either open or ending.
The safe bet is someone unmarried - less anger, stabbing, gunshots, and torpedoed presidential bids on that route.
Must have been one of those article I wrote of in my 1st post that misled on the contents of the FBI report. I read the report on the link. Check it yourself.
Hi Karl,
Don’t know if you’ve got the news, but since Clinton, none of this matters any more. If Newt can fix the country, I don’t care.
The liberals can’t have it both ways. They want to piss on marriage as an institution by allowing ANYBODY to enter into it with ANYBODY else. At the same time, they want us to be morally outraged at the idea of adultery and divorce.
Adultery, divorce, marriage - they are all personal decisions entered into by TWO people, not one. As such, I don’t think this matters much when Iran’s about to get the bomb and liberals think a 1700 mile pipeline will bring in fewer jobs than a 1.7 mile extension on a road.
Mr. Rove, (and Mr. Romney), you should find other work.
I think of it more as Sarah decided to abandon the sinking ship.
She is in prime position to be a major factor in the new political movement that spawns in the wake of the GOP’s demise.
GODSPEED NEWT GINGRICH.
