Newt Gingrich is back — with his noxious, heartless, and even racist views.

He’s scolding black Americans, saying they ought to seek paychecks, not food stamps (even though more whites get food stamps than blacks). He thinks poor children should clean bathrooms to earn money. He’d like to defund Planned Parenthood, privatize Medicare and abolish the EPA and Energy departments. He’s proposed cutting off aid to single moms and sending their kids to orphanages.

His own lack of ethics is no secret. His colleagues in the House of Representatives voted 395-28 to fine him $300,000 for ethics violations and for lying to them — the first time in history the House disciplined its own Speaker for ethical wrongdoing.

But that public disgrace — in January 1997 — did not stop AT&T from donating money to help re-elect Gingrich in 1998. Add to that AT&T’s track record of giving cash to the Republican presidential nominee in the 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 elections — and not donating a dime to the Democratic nominee.1

All of which begs the question: If Newt Gingrich ends up being the Republican nominee in 2012, will AT&T pump cash into his campaign coffers?

CREDO abhors — and fights — unethical, right-wing extremists like Gingrich with an activist network 2.5 million strong. And we’ve raised more than $70 million for progressive nonprofits like Mercy Corps, Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. In fact, we’re the largest corporate donor to Planned Parenthood, with more than $2 million in donations over the years.
