Let the "vetting" begin.
Marianne Gingrich started her affair with Newt when he was married.
Now she's shocked that Gingrich broke up with her to marry someone else.
She complains that he had a 6 year affair with Callista but doesn't mention that she and Newt were separated for 6 years. ABC:
She said when Gingrich admitted to a six-year affair with a Congressional aide, he asked her if she would share him with the other woman, Callista, who is now married to Gingrich.Newt asked for the divorced 8 months after she was diagnosed with MS, a fact described as "just months" in the ABC article. From ABOUT:
Bill Sanderson: "Gingrich asked Marianne for the divorce by phoning her on Mother's Day, 1999."Professor Jacobsen at Legal Insurrection has this:

Mickey Porter: "Gingrich's most recent ex-wife says he ditched her eight months after finding out she had multiple sclerosis. Marianne Gingrich, 48 ... says the ex-speaker of the House told her on Mother's Day 1999 that he wanted a divorce, after learning she had a neurological condition that could lead to MS [multiple sclerosis]."

There’s more to the story than you are hearing in the media. Marianne Gingrich is no innocent, and she was the one who broke the marriage and cleaned out the house, via Robert Costa via AP report from 1999 (h/tBurke):
Documents related to the divorce filed Friday in Cobb County Superior Court include a separation agreement signed by the couple and notarized in December 1987. There is no indication it was ever filed.
Gingrich’s divorce attorney, Thomas Browning, said Marianne Gingrich called her husband on his birthday in June 1987 to tell him she was leaving him.
Gingrich, he said, came back to Georgia to find his home emptied out.
Browning said the pair maintained separate residences for six years before reconciling in late 1993 or early 1994.
