Former Speaker of the House John Boehner said he would vote for Donald Trump in November while blasting Sen. Ted Cruz as a “miserable son of a bitch.”
According to The Hill:
“Former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) panned Ted Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh” during comments at an event Wednesday night at Stanford University.
“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone,” Boehner said, according to The Stanford Daily.
“But I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
Cruz was a thorn in Boehner’s side during several standoffs with the Obama administration, and some of his actions likely cost Boehner support from his own conference.
Cruz, a 2016 presidential hopeful, met with House members of the conservative Freedom Caucus — an unusual move for a freshman senator — in 2013 and pushed them to fight to defund ObamaCare. The effort eventually led to a government shutdown that hurt the GOP politically.”
