Newt Gingrich


Facing the crowd in Des Moines, Gingrich said, “We are at a crossroads that we cannot hide from: What kind of country do we want to leave to our children and grandchildren?" In an interview with CBN's David Brody posted on the second day of the conference, the former House speaker acknowledged his vulnerability with evangelical voters. Discussing his two failed marriages and extramarital affairs, Gingrich said, “I found that I felt compelled to seek God’s forgiveness." Gingrich converted to Catholicism upon marrying his third and current wife, Callista.
