Newt Gingrich gave $200,000 to Recall the 3 Iowa Judges over the Gay Marriage law


Unbelievable foolishness! Newt Gingrich supported the crazies in Iowa to oust the 3 judges over the gay marriage law.

L.A. Times has more:

In recent years, Gingrich has met privately with pastors best known nationally for their campaigns against same-sex marriage, sharing deeply personal details about his marital history as he expresses contrition for his past actions.

Gingrich has also provided financial and strategic support for their causes. Last fall, he played a key behind-the-scenes role in an unprecedented — and successful — campaign to remove three Iowa Supreme Court judges who approved same-sex marriage in the state, helping secure $200,000 in seed money for the effort.
and...
This year, several potential presidential candidates are vying for attention among religious conservatives. But only Gingrich was instrumental in the most heralded event of recent Christian political activism: The effort last fall to remove the Iowa judges.

"It wouldn't have happened without Newt," said David Lane, executive director of Iowa for Freedom, the organization that led the campaign. "Newt provided strategic advice and arranged the initial seed money, about $200,000, which is what got everything started."
The money came from an anonymous donor whose contribution was arranged by Gingrich, Lane said.
Really? I guess so, he's trying to win over the religious cretins to help his presidential campaign. But what's really ugly, is how he kept this hidden for many months and never spoke about this in public. Shame on you, Newt. We will remember this is mess.

No surprise, really, this adulterer is vehemently against marriage equality, but he's completely supports heterosexual fucktards cheating on their wives.

It's fun to point out the hypocrisy in his position, but people like Gingrich literally have no shame.

I'm glad this came out now. I'm already imagining this being used against him in two years.

This lard ass is no friend of marriage.
