I doubt Newt ever used the phrase “Open Marriage” which is pretty incendiary. This is Marianne’s phrase not Newt’s.
Marianne claims he wanted to have a girlfriend (Callista) while married to her. Married men have girlfriends with their wife’s understanding or approval. This is not so rare. The wife gets paid off in some way with a house or jewelry or what have you. Marianne rejected this idea so they got divorced...end of story
Sounds like Newt was modeling himself after a French politician...they do this all the time.
My, my. The left used to be the ones who would trash the woman when she spoke out about how she was wronged. Now it looks to be the right who's guilty of the same thing.
