Cruz believes that Speaker Boehner has cut a “deal” with congressional Democrats and President Barack Obama in which Boehner will push through Obama’s liberal agenda and then ride off into the sunset.
“I believe if Speaker Boehner had done that, had passed a dirty CR funding Planned Parenthood, funding this Iranian nuclear deal, that he would have lost his speakership,” said Cruz on the Senate floor. “So Speaker Boehner faced a conundrum. If he does what he and leader McConnell promised, which is fund all of Barack Obama’s priorities, he would have lost his job.
“And so what did he do? He announced he is resigning as speaker and resigning as a member of Congress,” said Cruz. “That is unsurprising, but it also telegraphs the deal he has just cut.”
Should we assume Mitch McConnell has done the same thing a Boehner?
I think Boehner and McConnell are being BLACKMAILED by Obama.....it’s my only nail to hang my HATE hat on.
