Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) decision to resign from Congress at the end of October is “a victory for the crazies,” Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) said Friday.

“I’m disappointed. This is a victory for the crazies,” King told Newsday. “You can’t appease these people.”

King said Boehner was resigning “to avoid putting the party through tumult” amid challenges to his leadership and an impending government shutdown.

The Long Island Republican also told Reuters that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is the leading contender to replace Boehner as Speaker. …

Why dont you be the next, King Peter.

[chris37]

You and your entire stinking party should resign, King.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they call you crazy. Then you win.

Petey boy should be the next RINO/Dem targeted.

“You can’t appease these people.”

Hard to tell since you've never tried.

Conservatives will deny the GOP the Presidency in 2016.

“You can’t appease these people.”

First off, Mr. King, "these people" are THE PEOPLE, as in "We, the People" and Boehner's first priority should have been to refer to his Republican principles.

Second, "appease" is simple: OBEY THE CONSTITUTION.

Go cry in your RINO soup, SUCKER!

[Major Matt Mason]

If Peter King is angry, then I'm happy.

How long until Cruz gets nominated and King jumps off a bridge?

>> “You can’t appease these people.”

How would he know that? They have never even dealt in good faith with conservatives — let alone tried to appease us.

“You can’t appease these people.”

Especially when you haven’t tried.

[CPT Clay]

A healing conciliatory tone.

[TornadoAlley3]

They hate the voters. They want us all to live our lives and ignore them. Allow them to rule over us. We do not know how government works. We do not know how hard it is. We should just shut up. They know best.

[lormand]

In before McCarthy stabs the conservative base just like Boehner.

Does anyone seriously think a RINO from California will be an improvement on a RINO from Ohio?

[sockhead]

Poor King. It’s tough when the people won’t behave like good little subjects.

[South40]

We're crazy because this country is $19 trillion in debt and climbing and we want the spending stopped?

Up yours, you traitorous bas*ard.

[TexasCajun]

HATER !!

Those "Crazies" gave you the majority you old putz!

[WENDLE]

Peter King is the epitome of the rino leftists in our party. One of the great joys of today is knowing that this Boehner butt boy has lost his master.
