NOW she’s correcting it? After all this time? How odd.
The “divorced her on her deathbed” story has long been debunked. It has been irresponsible for people (including many conservatives) to keep telling it all these years. What’s new here is that this is someone from within the family writing this first-person account of the details. But I had heard long ago that the story that he cruelly told his wife when she was in the hospital for cancer that he wanted a divorce was false. Somehow the debunking never seemed to “take” among conservatives.
I’m no fan of Newt for president and wish he had not thrown his hat in the ring. But my reasons have nothing to do with this myth.
I agree. This story smells.
