Callista Gingrich: Trump Wants US To Be Environmental Leader

Source: Talking Points Memo

By RICHARD LARDNER Published JULY 18, 2017 1:58 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) — Callista Gingrich, Donald Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to the Vatican, told skeptical Democrats on Tuesday that the president wants the United States to be an environmental leader even after pulling the country out of the landmark accord aimed at combatting global warming.

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Gingrich said Trump is committed to sustaining “our clean air and our clean water.” She said “we aren’t backing off of that” despite Trump’s recent decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

“We’re all called to be stewards of the land,” said Gingrich, the wife of Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House speaker and a close ally of Trump’s.

Democrats have criticized Trump sharply for leaving the Paris accord, a move that left the United States, Syria and Nicaragua as the only sovereign countries to not be part of the agreement. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called Trump’s withdrawal “one of the worst decisions of the 21st century because of the huge damage to our economy, our environment and our geopolitical standing.”

I have never in my 66 years on this planet seen someone with blue eyes that is possibly so full of sh*t.

An adulteress wanting to go to the Vatican, to sit down and have coffee with a pope.

I just gotta ask does she go into the confessional booth everyday

When logic doesn't make sense to you, you might as well believe what you make up.

Good riddance to the hipocrits.

I seriously doubt she will devote any time to protecting the environment.

You well-done brisket of bullshit, with a steaming side of holier-than-thou . . .

You malignant Chatty Cathy, you Teddy Ruxpin of twaddle, you putrescent Tickle Me Elmo . . .

You stinking cistern of lies, you cracked, moldy spit-sink of deceit, you mighty mountain of reeking non-reality . . .

Here's hoping you and/or family members die screaming in a Category 6 hurricane, or gasping in a heatwave, or choking in a forest fire that "no one could have predicted", as a destabilized Earth spins beyond human habitability under President Shitstain's environmental "leadership".

FUCK. YOU.

We’re all called to be stewards of the land,”




Callista Gingrich is president of Gingrich Productions and has produced a number of documentaries, including one about Pope John Paul II.



She worked for the House Committee on Agriculture as chief clerk until 2007. She was a key figure in her husband’s 2012 bid for the Republican nomination.

She was a congressional aide when she began a six-year affair with Newt Gingrich, then a married Republican congressman.



In 2012, Gingrich’s second wife, Marianne Gingrich, told ABC News that he had proposed an “open marriage” so he could continue to see Callista without divorcing. The former House speaker denied the charge.


He converted to Catholicism in 2009, after years of attending mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., where Callista Gingrich has performed in the choir.

Performed WHAT in the choir??




Don't answer that..
