Crawfish lives matter.
This is how I see the media today....
The “drain the swamp” meme was all about fighting corruption.....so the idiot must be trying to argue that all minorities are corrupt. I would say that this idiot’s argument is racist.
Not true.
The phrase has been around since at least the early 20th century.
SPLC is racist.
Media types have lost it. They need some calming medication, a nice mountain retreat, soft music and weekly therapy sessions.
“It should be noted that House Minority Leader coined the phrase while attacking the Republican party back in 2006. “........
Personally, I could care less who first stated it, it is indeed appropriate and has absolutely NOTHING to do with any race. I am sick and tired of people playing the race card at the drop of a hat. The issue is to rid ourselves of the corruption in our government, Hitlary included. She should NEVER be given a free pass as Trump has offered. Why do we have laws if she skates free? We DO NOT and SHOULD NOT have a double standard. I am disappointed that Trump has taken such a position.

Pelosi Says She Would Drain GOP ‘Swamp’
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Franklin Roosevelt had his first hundred days.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is thinking 100 hours, time enough, she says, to begin to “drain the swamp” after more than a decade of Republican rule.
(snip)
In fact it is only half the saying. The complete saying is "When you are up to your A** in alligators it is hard to remember that your job was to drain the swamp"
any phrase that works for their enemies, they call racist ,no matter it isn’t.
its their attempt to shut down an effective phrase because that phrase can control’and frame the debate and language.
The new administration should consider this status and review its past targets for bias and harassment before it helps ignite CWII -- the SPLC goal from its inception.
This guy.
It means to end the rampant corruption in the District of Corruption.
This guy is really reaching, the SPLC sees monsters under their bed.
Washington DC was built on a swamp. It’s not the least bit racist to play on that fact when saying it’s time to drain the swamp.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group.
This guy wouldn’t know a racist if he was mugged by one in the wrong part of town.
Wow, yet another person/phrase/thing declared racist. I’m shocked. Let’s save everyone some time. Let’s just agree EVERYTHING is racist with a few exceptions. I think it would be far easier to simply list those few things.
The expression
“When you’re up to you ass in alligators, it hard to remember the mission is to drain the swamp”
is ancient
