Forget ObamaCare, Boehner Wants Congressional Hearings on Garner
FrontPage Mag ^ | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 12/05/2014 5:25:29 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

No reason to waste time on crazy stuff like defunding ObamaCare. Let’s pander to the left and the rioters instead.

House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that he hasn’t ruled out holding congressional hearings on the circumstances surrounding the police killing of Eric Garner.

“The American people deserve more answers about what really happened here,” the Ohio Republican said, Buzzfeed reported. “And was our system of justice handled properly?”

It’s not “our” system John, unless you’re planning to move down to New York City. It’s the New York system of justice and it worked as intended.

If you do, maybe you can have Mike Rogers make out the report. He did such a bang up job on Benghazi.

Buzzfeed notes that Mr. Boehner’s comments differ from those by fellow Republican Reps. Michael Grimm and Peter King.

Mr. Grimm said in a statement that he has “full faith” that the grand jury’s decision was “fair and reasoned.”

Because they’re New Yorkers. And they listen to their constituents, not to their political consultants.

This is SO out of character.

Shouldn’t he really be filing a lawsuit on the Garner case?

IT is either the water in Ohio or DC that has made Bone-head this way. That is a problem worth discussing.

Boner is so glazed he doesn’t even try to pretend any more.

I think that it is the scotch and water that is making him this way.

Are you sure it is water? Could be what he enjoys dipping into.

This is the most over used phrase in Boner's playbook....

Um..final straw for me. Boehner really IS a democrat.

So many articles read like satire anymore!

Drunken boner is such a flaccid excuse for a repub "leader". Our only hope is that Conservatives somehow vote him out of the speaker position. What a utter, complete, absolute PUTZ.

Everyone’s an armchair jurist now.

I have more faith in grand juries than I do in judges. I suppose it is possible that the jury was corrupted. More likely everyone else is placing emotion ahead of facts.

Don’t waste yer time Bonehead. We are not interested. Stay out of the State and Local Policing.

Nobody needs a drunken sot to probe anything.

This is who he is, and who most other republicans are.

“The American people deserve more answers about what really happened here,”

Here come the Feds.

Boner is on board with Obama and Holder.

Folks whining about a police state will soon have a Big Centralized One.
