Newt Gingrich’s Half-Sister on Supporting Obama

The Takeaway

They say you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. It’s a saying our next guest understands first hand. Candace Gingrich-Jones is the half sister of Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich. She also happens to be gay and married which is something her half brother has disagreed with. She joins The Takeaway to explain why she’s voting for President Obama in 2012 rather than her half-brother.
