Gingrich himself this week suffered revelations from his second ex-wife, who told ABC News that he had asked her for an “open marriage,” before divorcing her just after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a similar event to when he asked his cancer-striken first wife for a divorce. During both marriages, Gingrich, a serial adulterer, was having extra-marital affairs. Gingrich’s current wife, Callista, was his mistress when he asked Marianne Gingrich for a divorce.
In 2010, his second ex-wife, Marianne, told Esquire,
“He could have been president. But when you try and change your history too much, and try and recolor it because you don’t like the way it was or you want it to be different to prove something new … you lose touch with who you really are. You lose your way,” she told Esquire. “He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don’t have to be connected,” she says. “If you believe that, then yeah, you can run for president.”
