Newt Gingrich Mysteriously Cancels Press Conference at S.C. State Capitol

COLUMBIA, S.C. This morning’s schedule showed that Newt Gingrich would have an 11:30 a.m. press conference here at the Statehouse, and I drove nearly 100 miles from Charleston to cover it but Newt was a no-show, and no one seems to know why.

But then the Girl Scout council changed its mind and declared, “If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her […]
