Newt pulls out, leaves messy Santorum behind

Georgia’s own presidential embarrassment Newt Gingrich is out in a way that will make gays rejoice. No silly, not that way. He’s out of the GOP presidential race. Didn’t he already drop out? Nah but he makes it official next week.

And when he officially departs the GOP race, he’ll take with him his anti-gay campaign that was an effort to win over conservatives but instead painted Gingrich as a bitter, anti-gay politician grasping at relevancy before he gets left in the dustbin of history. Or in the big pool of Santorum he created along the campaign trail.

Up until the very end, Gingrich kept his anti-gay express on the tracks. On Monday, he posted a YouTube video (above) supporting a proposed same-sex marriage ban in North Carolina.

Voters in Georgia, who Gingrich once represented in Congress, backed his bid. So did the good folks in South Carolina. But the professor of Anti-Gay Extremism 101 leaves behind a campaign littered with anti-gay rhetoric. He campaigned against gay marriage in Iowa. Against gays in the military, too. He even dismissed any comparison of the LGBT equality movement to the Civil Rights era.

Let’s not forget the anti-gay marriage pledge he signed from the National Organization for Marriage and when he told gays to just vote for Obama.

It was too much for even his lesbian half-sister Candace Gingrich-Jones, who once was his apologist. We’re done with him, too. Buh-bye, Newt.
