Speaker of the House John Boehner stunned audience members Wednesday evening at a Colorado fundraiser by referring to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “jackass,” two people in attendance tell The Daily Caller.

At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.

If Boehner ever dared say that about Obama he would be apologizing non stop.

At least we know what side the Republican establishment is on.

Boehner works for the other side. No question about it.

Boehner is the opposite of Cruz.

Boehner is a craven Democrat who wears an R as a spy behind enemy lines.

Have to wonder why one of those brilliant conservative minds that got elected to the HOR don’t find a way to rally the troops and figure out a maneuver to get Boehner out as Speaker.

Notice that Boehner slams Cruz, but he won’t go after Trump. That’s no accident.

Guess Boehner thinks is going to be business as usual going forward in the Capitol. Hate to break it to you but those days are quickly coming to a close.

You’re barking up the wrong tree Bonehead.

I know people that know John. He is usually drunk all day. He was probably drunk when he said it. It is clowns like John why I no longer consider myself a republican.

When was the last time a democrat party leader called one of their presidential candidates a “jackass”.

Did Trump pay Boehner to be so stupid...like a pro-wrestler paid to look like the loser... Or is Boehner really that stupid?
