The cardinal rule of being a politician on the internet is to be authentic, a second rule, probably an even more important tenet is this: Don’t share weird photos of yourself.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA), most famous for leading an impeachment against then-president Bill Clinton, is also known for riling up Twitter users with his right-wing propaganda.
On Monday, he found another way to set aflame the Twitterverse.
By sharing a creepy photo of himself smiling at the camera.
And the image left people cringing.
Check some of the reactions below:

The gross effects of not being prosecuted while continuing to commit crimes and supporting fellow crimers. All while rolling in dough. [Autofill desperately wanted “All white rolling in doubt”. 🤷♂️]
