Newt Gingrich mauls CNN's John King for asking about 'open marriage'

Thursday's Republican debate in Charleston, South Carolina started off with a bang when CNN moderator John King asked Newt Gingrich if he wanted to respond to allegations made by his second wife that he asked for an open marriage.

"No," Gingrich retorted to audience applause. "But I will."

"The destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office. And I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that," Gingrich said. You can watch video of his complete answer above.

The morning of the debate, ABC released pieces of the Nightline interview with Marianne Gingrich where she spoke about her marriage to the former speaker of the house, "[Gingrich] was asking to have an open marriage, and I refused."

  • How dare that moderator bring up something as disgusting, depraved and inappropriate as...the life of the candidate running for the highest office in the country. A candidate who has made family values his primary platform for decades. The fact that this scumbag got a standing ovation for dodging his own dirty laundry is what sickens me.

  • "trash like that" you brought this on yourself newt! if you can't handle yourself in a marriage 3 times over than why should the country trust you as our president? and don't seem so shocked when personal questions come at you like that, because if your running for president your whole life will be exposed to make sure that we the people know what kind of man were voting for

  • @JGNonsense It does not matter wheather is he is a conservative or liberal. Bottom linee is that he cheated on his wife and children. What makes you think he will keep a promise to the people if he cannot even keep his promise to his wife and kids.

  • @ToyKingWonder Answering by saying that the question itself disgusts you is not an answer at all. You should really work on developing some social skills rather than lashing out at random people over the Internet with profanity and insults. It'll get you a lot further in life. Thanks for checking out my zombie video too. Good to know I have a fan out there.

  • GOD I HATE NEWT

  • CNN:

    It's called a "Presidential Debate" because candidates are supposed to DEBATE u.s. policy. Not discuss personal "she said" "he said" stories.

  • @JGNonsense Go play some more zombie video games, you twitchy little buttbug.

  • @JGNonsense He didn't dodge it asshole, he answered.

  • newt is as close to retarded as anything i can imagine

  • Oddly enough, I do agree that it's a bit inappropriate to start a presidential debate. Possibly the only time I'll ever agree with Newt.

  • This is like the only time I will ever agree with Newt Gingrich.......

    but still.........

    RON PAUL 2012!
