Newt Gingrich Urges Gays Not to Vote for Him
At a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday, Professional Republican Stereotype Newt Gingrich informed a gay Iowan that if he wants his homo-needs met, he’d be better off voting for President Obama in 2012. That’s right: a candidate for President used time on a campaign stop to explicitly tell someone not to vote for him. And the ongoing game of GOP Nomination Hot Potato continues.
Newt’s latest WTF moment happened during an encounter with Scott Arnold, an associate professor of writing at William Penn University. Arnold asked the former House Speaker how, as President, he’d support the rights of gay and lesbian Americans. Gingrich smirked (to be fair, his face has been stuck in a smirk since an unfortunate 1997 smirking contest incident involving Dick Armey) and told Adams that if he wants rights and recognition, he’d better just vote for President Obama.
