Gingrich Warns of Obama's Final Weeks

December 26, 2016By Taegan Goddard

Newt Gingrich said that he expects a “desperate frenzy” from President Obama, “who in the last few days has banned oil drilling in vast tracts of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, dismantled a dormant national registry for visitors from countries with active terror groups and issued the most pardons in a single day in U.S. history,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Said Gingrich: “His legacy is like one of those dolls that, as the air comes out of it, shrinks and shrink and shrinks.”

He added that the “things he’s done this week will be turned around” by Donald Trump within hours of him taking office.

You can borrow mine if you like.

It's the word that instantly comes to mind when his name comes up. But it isn't just a word. It's the feeling of my skin crawling as if spiders are running on it, with the sensation of rising nausea and the ball of hard pain in the pit of my stomach. The word itself is just another word, but connected to the revulsion I feel it's almost the perfect word.

inauguration, pledging to subvert the will of the people as expressed in that election. He is an enemy of democracy and a traitor to our nation.
