Newt's Dirt Made Public By Ex-Wife

A story that leaked on Drudge reveals an ABC interview with Newt's ex-wife Marianne will air before Saturday, which is when the South Carolina primary will occur.

Apparently Marianne does not have nice things to say about her ex-hubby Newt. She accuses him of trying to rewrite history in order to make himself look good. I'm not sure why anyone would be shocked by a person trashing their ex but apparently, ABC wants to make this news.


Newt's daughters have responded:

The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved. Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events. 

We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves. 

ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election. But Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future -- about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism. We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having. 

Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren -- so they can inherit the America he loves. To do that, President Obama must be defeated. And as the only candidate in the race, including Obama, who has actually helped balance the national budget, create jobs, reform welfare, and cut taxes and spending, Newt felt compelled to run -- to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren's future.

Marianne was the second wife of Newt Gingrich.
