Newt Gingrich's two adult daughters said that charges by Gingrich's second wife in an interview with ABC News that the GOP presidential contender asked for an "open marriage" are categorically false.
Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Cushman, Gingrich's daughters by his first wife, told ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross they had spoken with their father about Marianne Gingrich's allegation and that he had assured them he never asked for an open marriage.
"We spoke with him about that, Brian, and he said it's simply not true," said Kathy Lubbers. "The truth is our father and Marianne had a difficult marriage. They had a difficult divorce. ... The American people have moved on. Our father has moved on."
"I think most divorces are very painful, they're never easy," said Jackie Cushman. "Dad tried very hard to make their marriage work, and unfortunately it didn't."

This dredged up old news has certainly knocked Romney, Bain and McCains opposition research out of the news. The media rejoices. YOU FELL FOR IT! HaHaHaHa!
The media, Dems and GOP elites are happy to hear it. It means it worked!!
So, he and his wife had their discussion about the affair she had just discovered in front of the “kids”? That is what it would take for their word to mean anything. It is a he said, she said right now. Which one do you believe?
My girls would probably defend me without my prompting.
Sorry. Marianne is a barren bitch.
She's not their momma.
Next slur?
I'm tempted to spam every thread with your post!!! WELL SAID!!!
Newt may be a flawed man, but he's OUR flawed man.
If dragging up unsubstantiated rants of an ex-wife is the best the opposition can do it tells me all of Newt’s dirt has already been exposed.
I’ll take that any day over the other rep. contender who has hidden crap that is still being found and a boatload history of pandering and big government cheer leading.
With a charge like that a guy has no chance. This is a job for a woman. Women voters MIGHT listen to another woman, but their ears and minds are closed to whatever the guy says. Fact of life.
I only asked because Gingrich is the only candidate capable of getting Obama out of office. Romney couldn’t do it and Santorum couldn’t either and you want to contribute to Newt failing, which would guarentee 4 more years of Obama.
Newt Gingrich is not falling for the media trap, by dignifying Marianne’s false claims with his response.
Watch the debate tonight -— he will surely be asked about this... again. It’s old news, save for the new made-up “open marriage” claim.
His adult children acted on thier own, in their father’s behalf.
Get a clue.
So who are you for?
Since when did the MSM become interested in the Truth ?
You are as bitter as Marianne. Please do not post to me if all you have is an emotional temper tantrum filled with hate and anger yet devoid of any logic.
Yikes!!!!
It’s Super Bitch!!
The woman has MS, a life long and incurable disease!
And how would the daugthers know what went on between Newt and Wife #2 - they were girls from Wife #1.
I cannot believe the hatred on this thread. It certainly shows me the contempt for women. Is every woman Newt married or had sex with bitter, sick, unbalanced? Has anyone considered Newt might be the problem?
I would guess after tonight we are going to see a string of women come out of the woodwork professing affairs with Newt, even during his marriage to Wife #3. It worked for getting Herman Cain out of the race and his were just allegations.
Well, our “cult” leader here is Jim.
The daughters are not Marianne’s daughters. Do a little research before you post. You are woefully ignorant. They are adults that are supporting their Dad against old dredged up crap. (With a new open marriage spin thrown in).
He got a deferment because he was married and had a child
none of the above.........I hope they all stay in and Romney can’t get to 50%....Then, maybe some sanity will return to the party and they can nominate a person without a closet full of skeletons. The bunch we have now are not the cream of the crop. Santorum lost his own state by 18 pts, Ron Paul would be perfect but for his foreign policy delusions which completely disqualify him, Romney is a RINO blueblood, and Newt is as big an opportunist as I have ever seen in my life.
