Joe DeSantis (communications director) ...
Joe DeSantis is communications director for Newt Gingrich's campaign seeking the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
The campaign's attempt to shape what is written about Callista Gingrich has led to some controversy. Joe DeSantis, Newt Gingrich's Communications Director, was criticized for making edits to her Wikipedia biography. Several news outlets (US and International) reported that he had made at least 23 edits to her Wikipedia article since 2008 and has been using the Talk pages since May 2011 to request other changes.[1][2] Some of DeSantos edits or requests were minor or for factual inaccuracies. Others were more substantial such as issues around Callista's relationship with Newt and his divorce.[1]
