The story of how Newt Gingrich and his allies tainted American politics, launching an enduring era of brutal partisan warfare


When Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, President Obama observed that Trump “is not an outlier; he is a culmination, a logical conclusion of the rhetoric and tactics of the Republican Party.” In Burning Down the House, historian Julian Zelizer pinpoints the moment when our country was set on a path toward an era of bitterly partisan and ruthless politics, an era that was ignited by Newt Gingrich and his allies. In 1989, Gingrich brought down Democratic Speaker of the House Jim Wright and catapulted himself into the national spotlight. Perhaps more than any other politician, Gingrich introduced the rhetoric and tactics that have shaped Congress and the Republican Party for the last three decades. Elected to Congress in 1978, Gingrich quickly became one of the most powerful figures in America not through innovative ideas or charisma, but through a calculated campaign of attacks against political opponents, casting himself as a savior in a fight of good versus evil. Taking office in the post-Watergate era, he weaponized the good government reforms newly introduced to fight corruption, wielding the rules in ways that shocked the legislators who had created them. His crusade against Democrats culminated in the plot to destroy the political career of Speaker Wright.

While some of Gingrich’s fellow Republicans were disturbed by the viciousness of his attacks, party leaders enjoyed his successes so much that they did little collectively to stand in his way. Democrats, for their part, were alarmed, but did not want to sink to his level and took no effective actions to stop him. It didn’t seem to matter that Gingrich’s moral conservatism was hypocritical or that his methods were brazen, his accusations of corruption permanently tarnished his opponents. This brand of warfare worked, not as a strategy for governance but as a path to power, and what Gingrich planted, his fellow Republicans reaped. He led them to their first majority in Congress in decades, and his legacy extends far beyond his tenure in office. From the Contract with America to the rise of the Tea Party and the Trump presidential campaign, his fingerprints can be seen throughout some of the most divisive episodes in contemporary American politics. Burning Down the House presents the alarming narrative of how Gingrich and his allies created a new normal in Washington.

Good!
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Works well! Love the subtle shimmer and glow it gives me. Doesn’t leave a white cast, but definitely does feel a little oily on the skin. Smells very nice too, not that classic chemical sunscreen smell at all.

Black girl friendly!!!!!
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this sunscreen! Im a black women with darker skin so its very hard to find sunscreen that doesnt make me a ghost and this one is so perfect. I tan super easy and dont want bad tan lines and this stops me from tanning when im just in regular clothes. This leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and it gives me such a beautiful glow im so obsessed i will NEVER use anything else. It smells ok, its not the typical sunscreen smell it has a slight fragrance to it. I have sensitive skin on my face and i use this on my face and i dont break out! Which never happens when i use a new product on my face, i typically break out. It goes on white but after rubbing it in after a few seconds it turns into this gorgeous golden glow.

Great protection with a lovely scent
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this sunscreen! It gives excellent sun protection and keeps my skin from burning, even during long hours outside. The texture is smooth and lightweight, and it leaves my skin feeling soft instead of greasy. I also love the light tropical scent — it smells like summer in a bottle! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can feel a little thick when reapplying, especially in humid weather. Other than that, it’s a great sunscreen that does its job well and makes my skin look healthy and radiant.
