Summary

Newt Gingrich blasted a Julia Roberts-led ad encouraging women to vote privately, calling it a sign of the sick values he attributes to Democrats. In a heated exchange with Sean Hannity, he accused the party of promoting dishonesty and moral decay in America, suggesting this reflects a broader erosion of societal integrity. Gingrich, who faced his own scandals, cited Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent split from the Democrats as further proof of disillusionment with what he sees as their corrupt influence.

    I mean, he’s right in one way, you certainly ought to be able to talk about who you are voting for without fear. Communication, debate, and choose for yourself. So really the far right are just reaping what they have sown, I don’t see how he can blame the ad.

      Women should vote this time because they might lose the right to vote next time. I guarantee that if Trump wins but its clear that many women voted against the wishes of their husband some Project 2025 shit heel is going to come up with the idea that men should be able to vote by proxy for their wives so that they don’t vote wrong and cancel out their husband’s vote.

      Absolutely. And if you can’t, you’re in the wrong marriage. If women were free to leave Republican husbands without fear of harm, red-cap affiliation would be a more telling demographic for social isolation and lonliness than it already is.
