WASHINGTON—Following news that author J.K. Rowling had secretly authored the crime novelunder the pen name Robert Galbraith earlier this year, multiple reports confirmed today that Rowling, widely known as the author of the popular Harry Potter series of books, is actually the longtime pseudonym of former house speaker Newt Gingrich, who created the boy wizard and penned all seven of the bestselling novels.
“Assuming a fake identity really gave me a lot of freedom to build out the world of Hogwarts and flesh out the characters without drawing unwanted attention to myself or having the novels associated in any way with my political career,” Gingrich said in a statement, confirming reports he wrote the first four books in the fantasy series while still in office, but wrote the remainder before his 2012 presidential run.

A swing and a miss on this one. Prioritizing the safety of girls/women doesn't make you an old conservative. If it does...the ground has definitely shifted.

He really tuned down his style, but I guess it was to break into the YA market.
Even in this world of insanity, you guys never let me down. Thanks for that.
I don't believe you. No-one in the world is named Newt. Not even a children's fantasy author
