A fake CNN Breaking News alert claims that Newt Gingrich forced ex-wife Marianne to have an abortion. The deceptive mailing was sent to South Carolina Republican activists early Thursday morning from false account BreakingNews@mail.cnn.com.
The email contained the following nugget:
“A source close to Marianne Gingrich tells CNN that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich forced her to abort a pregnancy conceived during the affair that preceeded her marriage to Gingrich.”
No one has stepped forward to claim responsibility for the libelous attack. South Carolina is, of course, well known for its last-minute dirty tricks and speculation is rampant as to whom this may have come from.
