“I’m done cheating,” NEWT GINGRICH vows after secret mistress paints love rat as “hypocritical” in bombshell ENQUIRER interview.
But NOW, GOP presidential front-runner Gingrich has vowed he won’t play “run around Sue” on his wife.
Three-times-married Gingrich has agreed, in principle, to the Iowa conservative group Family Leader’s candidate pledge which includes a vow of fidelity and a no-cheat clause with latest wife, Callista.
“I also pledge to uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others,” Gingrich wrote in a letter accepting the pledge.
Gingrich has long weathered critique for his absence of family values in light of marital infidelity — including having an affair with Callista (23 years his junior) while married to his second wife and pursuing the impeachment of President Bill Clinton for Oval Office indiscretions with intern Monica Lewinsky.
In a bombshell interview with Newt’s secret mistress Anne Manning in our Dec 19, 2011 print edition, Manning said “Newt Gingrich is a hypocrite! He doesn’t practice what he preaches. Voters need to know what sort of man they’re being asked to support.”
In the interview Manning described in lurid detail how Gingrich took her back to a hotel room for sex after dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant.
“It was oral sex,” Anne said. “Because that way he could say he had not slept with me.”
After the climax, Gingrich had told her, Manning chillingly recalled, “If you ever tell anyone about this, I’ll say you’re lying.
The former House speaker resisted signing the Family Leader pledge for the months. But he said his reluctance was over a potentially racist clause — not related to adultery.
In fact, Gingrich didn’t actually sign the pledge but sent a letter to Family Leader head Bob Vander Plaats vowing support for all of the pledge’s clauses including opposing gay marriage and abortion.
Meanwhile, with Iowa’s caucus three weeks away expect chief rival Mitt Romney who has been married to his wife, Ann, for 42 years to soundly play “the cheat card” — as in "once a cheating liar — always a cheating liar."
