No, Ted Cruz was not ‘John Boehner’s lawyer’

The media is working hard to convince you that they caught Ted Cruz in a lie about working with John Boehner. But they are the ones lying, as usual.

During an interview hosted by Stanford in Government (SIG) and the Stanford Speakers Bureau, former House Speaker John Boehner referred to presidential candidate Ted Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh.” He continued, “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

But Boehner did not “work” with Ted Cruz. Boehner only worked against Cruz as he golfed with Trump, who Boehner referred to as his “texting buddy.”

The comments are reminiscent of other nasty names Boehner has used to describe the constant anti-establishment thorn in his side. Last year, the failed Speaker referred to Cruz as a “jackass,” and still another time as a “false prophet.

A lie, even a little lie, is still a lie.


Yes, my point, exactly ;-)

Big difference in being his lawyer and working for a firm as a junior.

Apparently he had no problem being described and reported as his lawyer when it was advantageous for his resume as an ambitious lawyer. Now that the facts contradict his narrative it is an inconvenient fact.

you and other Cruz Birthers need to get a life. Your starting to look like morons

Either the Constitution means what it says or it doesn't, you decide. Cruz is going down either way so I don't care, but maybe if the circumstances were the same for another Obama you might feel differently.

Hmmm, it appears from that 1998 artical that Ted Cruz was indeed Boehners’ attorney.

You have outed yourself as a tool. I am well aware of what’s on line. A Canadian birth certificate, a draft card from a time when even aliens had to register. A birth cert for Mom but no documentation of Mom’s status at Ted’s birth.
Sheesh the trolls are getting sloppy.

“Sorry, she doesn’t represent dirtbags”

Like I said before, I’d rather not see another lawyer taking up residence in the White House. Why would you think someone would change their mind if they knew your wife is a lawyer?
If you really don’t care what anyone thinks then why should it be factored in? You mentioned it for a reason and if you really feel put upon by people who have very good reasons for liking the fact that Trump is not a lawyer, you’re shit out of luck, pal.

You can take your little “argument” back to school, fool.
