Newt Gingrich: “And the more you watch them, to say, ‘Oh, why don’t you lie to your husband?’ as a publicly advocated ad? That is sick! And I think we ought to have the courage to say this is a sick, dishonest party.”
I dunno, I think domestic violence is pretty bad. But Republicans are the party that voted AGAINST renewal of the Violence Against Women Act.
So, perhaps there is a reason they lied?

@feloneouscat I'd say leaving your first wife while she fought uterine cancer is fairly sick and dishonest, but Newt's newt was all about that cheating life...
@feloneouscat
I don't approve of lying. But I do approve of people being able to exercise their inalienable democratic right to vote, without surrendering that right to anyone else, and without being subject to threats, fear, violence, or intimidation.
What's truly "sick" is the idea that it's normal and okay to threaten a woman if she votes according to her conscience.
Note that they never suggest that a man should give an account of his vote to his wife.
