Newt Gingrich Lost It and Blew Up at Megyn Kelly: ‘You Are Fascinated with Sex!’

Source: Mediaite

Kelly proceeded to explain to him why Trump is behind, citing that 2005 tape and Trump lashing out at pretty much every single woman who’s made allegations about him. Gingrich snapped, “I get it, I know where you’re coming from.”

-snip-

They kept going, but Gingrich was so angry that he actually shouted, “You wanna go back through the tapes of your show recently? You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy! That’s what I get out of watching you tonight!”

He even challenged her to say the phrase “Bill Clinton sexual predator” over and over.

Kelly ended the segment by politely saying, “You can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them.”

Trump Adviser Trashes Megyn Kelly After Gingrich Interview: ‘Watch What Happens to Her…’

http://www.mediaite.com/online/trump-adviser-gingrich-interview-shows-megyn-kelly-is-biased-and-not-very-smart/

Kelly confronted Gingrich on Trump’s poll numbers and defended the media coverage of whether Trump’s a sexual predator, leading Gingrich to have a meltdown on the air and yell at her that she’s obsessed with sex.

This is how Trump adviser and social media director Dan Scavino reacted on Twitter:

.@NewtGingrich just destroyed @MegynKelly. Shows she is totally biased against Mr. Trump & not very smart. Mr. Trump has long known!!

— Dan Scavino Jr. (@DanScavino) October 26, 2016

.@MegynKelly made a total fool out of herself tonight- attacking @realDonaldTrump. Watch what happens to her after this election is over.

While Clinton was battling the utterly bogus impeachment ordeal, Newtie, then married to second wife Marianne Ginther Gingrich, was banging Callista Bisek, including possibly in the backseat of his Mustang in the garage at the Capitol.

He has a lot of g.d. nerve.

Newtie was sued by small vendors who made items for his campaign the last time he ran. He STILL owes money. He tried to have their claims thrown out, but the judge refused and Newtie HAS to pay up. If he got a job in the tRump cabinet, he could push those debtors aside, so he must be desperate. Calista like the jewels at Tiffany. Maybe, in spite of being a bloated asshole, he has wife #4 on the sidelines? Insufferable fat guy, just like tRump.

Wed Oct 26, 2016, 06:30 AM
Oct 2016
Trump supporter Newt Gingrich, who as House speaker led the charge to impeach Bill Clinton on perjury and obstruction charges, expressed dismay over the Trump campaign's effort to revive the controversy.

"It's totally the wrong direction to go," Gingrich said. "He should not let them bait him into a swamp where they can revel in the mud."

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-bill-clinton-impeachment-20160929-story.html

These guys don't even have tactics for a campaign, let alone a strategy. Or a memory of how sex-obsessed they were themselves in the 1990s.

For the GOP, sex is the only crime. Torture, war crimes, financial skullduggery, poisoning people for profit.... none of that matters. But sex is the "crime" they really care about. It's what they crucified Clinton with. It's what brought Trump down. Bush jr. And Cheney had a mountain of crimes, but no sexual trespasses (that we know of), so they are AOK with the Republican brain.

Newt, thy name is projection.

... behind me at the Sugar Bowl when the Buckeyes beat Alabama. They acted more bloodthirsty than anyone else nearby. They also spilled their beers on me more than once. LOL!

I'm kidding since I don't expect that they actually destroyed anything later!

I used to get pulled over by cops more regularly as a teenager, especially if other teenage boys were in the car with me. They'd claim that I didn't come to a complete stop or some other bogus claim, but the real reason is that they were profiling us due to our gender and age (hoping to find evidence of something worse). The thing is, they were right! Boys are indeed bigger trouble-makers, in general, especially when they're younger dealing with all that testosterone.
