Lord, Lord! You ARE clueless. His first wife is still alive. They decided to divorce months before her surgery. You bought the MSM lie hook, line & sinker!
Jackie Gingrich Cushman: About Newt’s ‘deathbed divorce’
For years, I have thought about trying to correct the untrue accounts of this hospital visit. After all, I was at the hospital with them, and saw and heard what happened. But I have always hesitated, as it was a private family matter and my mother is a very private person. In addition, for the four people involved, it was one of a million interactions and was not considered a defining event by any of us.
So, to correct the record, here is what happened: My mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, is very much alive, and often spends time with my family. I am lucky to have such a “Miracle Mom,” as I titled her in a column this week.
My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.
Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother.
She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor.
The tumor was benign.
Oh, come on, Newt and his wife’s own children and the facts can’t possibly compete with what the lamestream media and Newt’s political opponents have said. They obviously know more about the facts of what goes on in Newt’s personal life than his own family. Besides we all have a right to spread gossip about the most private of matters within someone’s family and judge them on it.
