Call it a case of mixed-up metaphors -- but President-elect Donald Trump is renewing his vow to "drain the swamp" after key allies indicated the anti-corruption catch phrase was being ditched.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich initially had told NPR that Trump “disclaims” the phrase and “now says it was cute, but he doesn't want to use it anymore.”

But Gingrich tweeted a video message on Thursday admitting he made a "big boo boo" and saying Trump has reminded him he still "intends to drain the swamp." Gingrich wrote, "I goofed. Draining the swamp is in."

Newt Gingrich is a snake.

Self-proclaimed conservative Newt Gingrich could be the next Republican candidate for President, but with his unconstitutional track record, will he be right for America?

Gingrich has never known when to stop talking and simply shut his mouth.

* President-elect Donald Trump is renewing his vow to “drain the swamp” *

how can Trump renew something he never disavowed?

seems like Fox is projecting some of their own propaganda..

I like Newt but he’s been in D.C. too long.

Newt never got it from the horses mouth.

“I’m told he now just disclaims that,” Gingrich said on “Morning Edition.”

I have not liked him for decades.

Picture is worth a thousand words.

(Or any rambling that comes out of Newt's mouth)

Get the hook. Get him outta here.

I’m sure we’ll see some dirty politicians go down, but probably not nearly enough.

How did Nancy feel about Newt’s “man-spreading”?

I’ll bet THAT sent a tingle up her leg!

[Paladin2]

Newt being "open", Pelousy "closed".

Point noted for use in the future.

[Leep]

Newt is kind of schitzoid. I think he has a leftist demon on one of his shoulders?

[euram]

I’m glad Trump didn’t give Gingrich a position in his administration, he’d be a continuous source of problems.

[Bigg Red]

Yep, Faux News enjoys trying to throw true conservatives off balance. So glad I caught onto their game. Ditched them quite a few years ago.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Newt is an axolotl.

Rush urges CAUTION! The Forces of Evil are spreading disinformation and fake news and are trying to undermine Trump's support; don't believe any such thing unless you hear it from the Horse's Mouth!
