Report: John Boehner Shocks at Fundraiser by What He Calls Ted Cruz: ‘I About Fell on the Floor’

Report: John Boehner Shocks at Fundraiser by What He Calls Ted Cruz: ‘I About Fell on the Floor’ Aug. 27, 2015 Speaker John Boehner shocked attendees of a Colorado fundraiser Wednesday night by referring to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as a “jacka**,” two people at the event told The Daily Caller.

The Ohio Republican, who has come under fire from hard-line conservatives within his party, said he was happy Cruz was campaigning for president because it keeps the “jacka**” out of Washington, The Daily Caller reported.

“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” attendee and president of Native Excavating Ed MacArthur told the website.

“It’s becoming very disturbing to me that we can’t have good, polite conversation,” he added. “It all has to be at the throat.”

Another individual who attended the fundraiser told The Daily Caller she was stunned to hear the speaker use such language.

My thought exactly.

If that hopefully happens...it will take me several days to quit laughing when I think of Boehner’s reaction.

Boner belongs in a padded cell. With electro shock therapy until he dies.

And that's the nicest, best thing I can think of regarding him.

The next involves a device used by the French to remove heads.

That probably wouldn't finish him off though, as that's not where what little brain he has is located.

Someone should set this RINO straight and tell him at least Cruz’s record is way more conservative than anything Boner can brag about. Who is the jackass now boner?

Is there still a session schedules after the recess to vote on a replacement for boner or was that cancelled?

Boehner is an intellectual and moral lightweight who will be remembers as simply a name and picture on the wall of someone of minimal positive accomplishment and much negative/destructive moves. He’s a hollow man who tries to fill with alcohol the empty spot where his soul and patriotism should reside.

"My touchstone for every question is the Constitution." - Ted Cruz

It is this quality and firm conviction of Ted Cruz which puts the fear and disdain in "establishment" Republicans and Democrats.

And, it is that principled stand which brings out the name calling from the political class which prefers to "rule" instead of "lead."

Getting to be the Speaker of the House should be a position which, in leading "the People's" representatives should be excited about having an Constitutional advocate to back him up when he's right on issues and to oppose him when he may be tempted to falter on a Constitutional question.

To use perjoratives to describe a colleague admired by so many Americans is a disqualifier for the Office.

John Bohner and Mitch McConnel have more in common with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi than the people that voted for them.

They are the elite of the GOP and the Democrat Party and have their mutual interest first and the voter's interest last.

I loath Bohner, but Jamesons is good stuff and far above the tastes of Bohner.

When is Trump finally going to zero in on these bozos, Boehner and McConnell? It’s long past time.

I’ve taken to calling them “Hastertites “, it’s a Republican whose actions indicate that someone holds over their head the fact they smoked pole or violated a child or some other gnarly escapade. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
