Claim via Social Media: Republican former House Speaker Newt “Contract on America” Gingrich shared a post advocating for using nuclear detonations to create a canal that would serve as an alternative shipping route to the Strait of #Hormuz.
Snopes rating: True
The proposal that #Gingrich shared in his post came from a satirical article. We have no idea if he was serious. Seems appropriate to assume so, as the guy made no mention it was satire.
