Newt Gingrich actually said...
Look, I made two mistakes. First of all, if you go back and listen to the question David Gregory asked me, I should have said I'm not going to answer it. It's a hypothetical baloney question that had no hope of happening. The second was some of the words I used. But I was trying to say something that's really important.

I believe deeply that the American people have to be an integral part of it. I think that what Paul Ryan has done is he has started that process.
