during a panel discussion on wednesday's <u+201c>anderson cooper 360,<u+201d> republican strategist and cnn regular ana navarro went off on newt gingrich over his meltdown on <u+201c>the kelly file<u+201d><u+2014> during which he angrily accused kelly of being <u+201c> fascinated with sex .<u+201d> 




after cooper referred to gingrich's rant as <u+201c>ironic,<u+201d> navarro jumped to take issue, 'correcting' the host before torching gingrich over the treatment of his wife: 




<u+201c>i think the word you were looking for was <u+2018>hypocritical.' remember newt gingrich<u+2019>s wife? when he was running in 2012, told all of us, told the media [...] gingrich offered her the choice between an open marriage or a divorce. 




so maybe, just maybe, if all of that baggage is on your shoulders, maybe you shouldn<u+2019>t be the surrogate out there wagging your finger and accusing the woman who was reporting on sexual assault. 




let me explain it slowly <u+2014> sexual assault and sex are two things. one is unwanted. one is wanted. so maybe they need to understand that to begin with.<u+201d> 




navarro told uber-trump supporter scottie nell hughes that gingrich shouldn't be used by the campaign in any capacity, given his past. image credit: screenshot/cnn youtube 




incidentally, following the release of the now-infamous leaked 2005 video in which trump brags about grabbing women by the p***y, navarro angrily yelled the word during a cnn panel discussion after hughes chastised her for saying it on-air. 




we'll go ahead and put ana down as a <u+201c>maybe<u+201d> for trump.
