Newt Gingrich Goes Nuts Over Ad Reminding Women They Don’t Have to Tell Husbands How They Voted: ‘That Is Sick!’

 

Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich went nuclear on an ad narrated by Julia Roberts in which the actress reminds women they don’t have to tell people how they voted. And that includes their husbands.

“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want,” she says as a woman casts a ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris in a voting booth. “And no one will ever know.”

Afterward, her husband asks, “Did you make the right choice?”

“Sure did, honey,” the woman replies.

“Remember,” Roberts’ narration continues. “What happens in the booth stays in the booth. Vote HarrisWalz.”

The ad was produced by Vote Common Good, and has caused an uproar among some conservatives.

Gingrich appeared on Thursday’s edition of Hannity, where Sean Hannity mocked celebrity endorsements of Harris.

“Really? I’m gonna look for what manliness looks like, to George Clooney?” Hannity said of the man PEOPLE magazine twice named Sexiest Man Alive. “A Hollywood jackass spoiled elitist? No thank you. He’s no John Wayne.”

Wayne, who pretended to be a cowboy in many films, was a Hollywood actor.

“These people are dishonest,” Gingrich responded. “And so, for them to tell people to lie is just one further example of the depth of their corruption. I mean, how do you run a country where you’re walking around saying, ‘Wives should lie to their husbands, husbands should lie to their wives’?”

The former speaker of the House, who cheated on his second wife, then blasted Democrats for their amorality.

“I mean, what kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?” he went on. “If you think about it at that level, it is astonishing, the decay.”

Gingrich then claimed the aforementioned “decay” is why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. no longer supports the Democratic Party. Earlier this month, Mediaite reported that at least three women have claimed that in the last year, they’ve had romantic relationships with Kennedy, who is married to actress Cheryl Hines.

“Instead of having a dignity and patriotism and a sense of morality, these are really sick people,” Gingrich went on. “And the more you watch them, to say, ‘Oh, why don’t you lie to your husband?’ as a publicly advocated ad? That is sick! And I think we ought to have the courage to say this is a sick, dishonest party.”
