Newt Gingrich Calls Julia Roberts Voting Ad 'Sick' And You May Not Believe Why
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) ranted Thursday that a Julia Roberts -narrated ad assuring women that they can vote discreetly is “sick.” (Watch the videos below.)
Gingrich claimed the message was symptomatic of Democrats’ amorality. “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!” he told Fox News ’ Sean Hannity . “And I think we ought to have the courage to say this is a sick, dishonest party.”
Only that is not the message of Vote Common Good ’s online entry. The video encourages women not to cave to domestic intimidation ― subtle or otherwise ― and to vote their conscience.
In the clip, two women share knowing looks at a polling place as one tallies her ballot in favor of Kamala Harris. “Did you make the right choice?” a male companion in a U.S. flag-branded cap asks the woman. “Sure did, honey!” she responds.
“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know,” narrates the Oscar-winning actor.
Prompted by Hannity, Gingrich went off on the ad.
“These people are dishonest,” he said. “And so, for them to tell people to lie is just one further example of the depth of their corruption. I mean, how do you run a country where you’re walking around saying, ‘Wives should lie to their husbands, husbands should lie to their wives’?”
“I mean, what kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?” he prattled on. “If you think about it at that level, it is astonishing, the decay.”
Gingrich continued his diatribe about the video, which has triggered other conservatives such as Fox News’ Jesse Watters .
“Instead of having dignity and patriotism and a sense of morality, these are really sick people,” Gingrich said.
Mediaite also pointed out the hypocrisy of Gingrich’s outrage, given his reportedly dishonest behavior toward his second wife, whom he divorced after an affair with the woman who would become his third wife.
“How could he ask me for a divorce on Monday and within 48 hours give a speech on family values and talk about how people treat people?” Marianne Gingrich said in 2012 of her ex-husband revealing his affair.

maga hates the idea that women are considered equals and are allowed to vote ...
The cons sure have their panties in a bunch over this one.....
I posted the youtube video of that commercial on a daily dreck article here a few days ago ...
daily dreck
I remember
‘Oh, why don’t you lie to your husband?”
Asks another (three marriages) who owes his entire public existence riding the coattails of limbaugh (four marriages) and his ‘feminazi’ degradations. Something is lacking in their inability to look outside their own failings.
Gingrich isn't qualified to talk about lying to a spouse. He has become an expert at lying to his.
His first marriage ended when HS Sweetheart Jackie found out her famous hubby was cheating on her for some time.
He presented divorce papers knowing she had a difficult cancer to deal with; two months later, after the surgery to remove the tumor they famously and loudly argued about the divorce.
5 months later the divorce is final and Melanie begins wedding plans for August 1981
By April of 2000 lying cheating Newt is again divorced freeing Callista to plan for their August nuptials.
Since 2012 Newt has maintained he made many mistakes but kept them secret for the sake of the country
so they would not be subjected to nasty attack ads.
Big effing hypocrite.
btw, 1st wife Jackie survived the tumor, the chemo and Newt. She passed in 2013 at the age of 77, natural causes.
I stand corrected on that point.
another stellar catholic woman of faith. I wonder if her penance to the pope to be forgiven was experienced based.
She would have to prove lineage to the Borgias to get a free pass for being an adulterer, liar and ladder climber.
Not a big deal for the Papacy.
"here, put on this nun habit first ... "
The Borgias, cool. I'm an expert on their history. Mario Puzo considered them the first crime family.
That, they were.
it seems like a few vows of celibacy didn't work out so well ...
But what Gingrich would REALLY prefer is that "Wives should be tied to their husbands, husbands CAN lie to their wives. It's the American Way."
What nonsense...Republicans are getting desperate!
Newt - one of the world's biggest fucking hypocrite scumbags out there.
he still can't get over being totally irrelevant to americans with an IQ over 65 points ...
so starved for attention
Oh, sorry, I misread that. My eyes are failing and I thought you wrote "Next - one of the world's biggest fucking hypocrite scumbags out there."
One letter or one apostrophe, English is so damned complex, lol.
In the past there was a classic book on the importance of proper usage. Its title was:
I love that book.
I already use enough commas ...
From what I've seen, the big problem is homonyms, for example it's and its: there, their and they're, etc.
I don't believe I've ever heard of it. I'll have to check it out.
and your and you're and to and too
And yore and two. You make a rite of being right, and NT's a site that's out of sight.
It's okay, we all forget things. As much as I'm really into the movies, I often forget even popular actors' names.
So it is 'sick' to lie to your husband about who you vote for (to avoid conflicts and animosity) but it is not 'sick' for a husband to demand his wife vote as he sees fit?
The level of screwed up 'reasoning' in the current GOP is staggering.
Trump supporters complaining about keeping the privacy of the voting booth private as being actually lying is funny.
Gingrich (the womanizing liar) complaining about it is hilarious!
Pretty sure he lied to his wives when he was cheating on them.
One was dying of cancer, IIRC.
Who's sick and amoral, again?
I don’t care what this 81 year old man has to say about anything.
Age discrimination?
No, low character discrimination.
As time goes on I find myself caring less and less about more and more . . .
the party of projection
I feel so sorry for all those poor single cat women with no male in their lives to tell them how to vote ... /s
Send them a bottle of wine. If I were single you could send me a case of beer and an Amazon gift card
meh, taking advantage of incapacitated females is so 20th century ...
Newt Gingrich is a disease.
IMHO he was the start of all this - the hypocrisy/projection which has manifested itself as different 'movements' over time. The alleged grassroots movement aka tea party during the Obama years which devolved into maga thanks to trump.
The do as I say, not as I do, alleged, compassionate conservatives.
He was one of the prime generators of the total degradation of political discourse on the right.
EXACTLY
And there's no cure for the Newt Gingr itch!
Women lying to their husbands about who they voted for? Nobody not even a husband has the right to ask women who they voted for.
And Newt Gringrich would finally learn the definition of amorality if he looked in the mirror.
Newt Gingrich is one of the lowest forms of life on Earth.
Declining to state a truth is not lying. It’s merely silence.
