It’s not easy being human. We’ve got needs and those needs can trump ethics and morality from time to time if not kept in check - or at least negotiated if another party is involved. It wouldn’t be a big deal either, unless you’re someone who can’t walk the talk, as is the case here. No, I’m not surprised. From all I’ve read on Newt, his philandering behavior wasn’t a secret, and was in fact yet another large white elephant in the middle of the room, taking a huge dump, that no one cared to comment on, so long as the party line was being towed.
