It wouldn’t be the first time. I remember a brief (about 10 days) interlude where Gingrich made a big show of burying the hatchet with Clinton, pledging to find areas where they could work together. That was after a harsh public reaction to one the unconstitutional government shutdowns Gingrich orchestrated. I think it went the way of several of Gingrich’s marriages when he had to sit in the back of Air Force 1 with the riff-raff.

I’m not 100 percent sure, but I have a strong hunch that if someone could do a bunch of research, they’d find Gingrich actively supported hustling Republicans considered too moderate and too willing to compromise with Democrats out of their House seats, in part by supporting primary challengers.

In any case, in all things what must be remembered about Gingrich is that no matter how he bloviates about Republicanism and conservatism, his first priority is promoting himself.
