82 y.o. dude who was railing his secretary while his wife was in the cancer ward demands "thermonuclear detonations"

8. The secretary whom Newt Gingrich was banging on his Congressional office desk . . .

while his second wife was hospitalized for cancer treatment . . . wound up being his third wife -- Callista.

She was appointed by Trump in his first term as US Ambassador to The Vatican.

In October 2025, Trump appointed her as Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, a position she still holds.

No word on what Newt is doing now other than posting stupid shit.

And, as I recall, he served divorce papers on his first wife while she was hospitalized for something. Callista had best avoid being hospitalized.

Finally -- I did not know this, but, there are two Newt offspring out there somewhere. Newt Gingrich has two children, both daughters, from his first marriage to Jackie Battley: Kathy Gingrich Lubbers and Jackie Gingrich Cushman. Both daughters are active in supporting his political legacy and have been involved in media and communication, with Jackie notably working as an author and columnist.
