House Speaker John Boehner fired a stunning blast at Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, reportedly calling him a "jackass" during a Colorado fundraiser.
The Daily Caller, citing two people who attended the Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, reports Boehner glibly remarked that he liked that Cruz's presidential campaign keeps "that jackass" out of Washington — and from telling the Speaker how to do his job.
"I about fell on the floor," a woman who attended the Wednesday event tells the Daily Caller.
"To build coalitions to work together in Washington, D.C., you don’t start it out by calling your colleague a 'jackass.'"
Another attendee, businessman Ed MacArthur, was fuming.
"I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that [former President Ronald] Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans," MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, tells the Daily Caller.
"It’s becoming very disturbing to me that we can’t have good, polite conversation," though he added that he believes the Ohio Republican has "got the right to say it."
According to the Daily Caller, at least 100 people attended the fundraiser.

First thing Boehner's said in a while that I completely agree with.
ReplyDeleteKeep staring at your posters of Obama and Hillary and then go post your comments on Rachael Maddow's gay liberal's blog. You can have sobbing John too.
DeleteBoehner is exactly right.
ReplyDeleteYou two fools that support Boener are just perfect examples of why I will never vote republican again.
ReplyDeleteI hope after Trump becomes elected, you dingbats will wither away and join the democrat party.

ReplyDeleteIgnorant jackasses do tend to have similar thoughts.
and?
ReplyDeleteBoehner and McConnell is a copy of Obama and Clinton. They try to get revenge on people who disagree with their passiveness. Neither one deserves a leadership position. They are destroying the Republican party by siding with Obama and his democrat buddies, Reed and Pelosie, instead of standing for principles.
ReplyDeleteBoehner must have been talking about himself. Biggest jackass out there. Turncoat rino to boot!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it's just the other way around - Boehner is the Jackass! Cruz is great!
