Former House majority leader Newt Gingrich was ridiculed this week after accusing President Joe Biden of intentionally infuriating the majority of Americans by “flying the gay flag” at American embassies.
During an interview on Fox News, Gingrich argued that “every idiotic thing that the Biden administration has done in the first 100 days” is intentionally designed to “infuriate people of traditional values” who are “appalled” by the gay flag flying at American embassies all “over the world.”
“It’s almost like they have a checklist of ‘what can we do that will really, truly infuriate traditional Americans,'” he told right-wing host Jeanine Pirro before pointing the “gay flag” again.
Gingrich’s comments drew immediate condemnation by social media users, who reminded the former GOP leader about his own ‘traditional values.’

Is attacking "people of traditional values" telling your wife, who is dying of cancer in the hospital, that you are divorcing her for your next mistress?
Asking for New Gingrish's wife who died of cancer after being told by Newt he was leaving her for one of his mistresses.

That face when you realize the guy you’re interviewing—the same guy pretending live on-air that you never slept with him behind his third wife’s back—was probably responsible for your producer’s weird insistence that you wear a pleather catwoman bodice for tonight’s taping
