John Boehner Calls Sen. Ted Cruz a “JackA$$” at Colorado Fundraiser
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 27,2015 | Jim Hoft

Speaker John Boehner held a fundraiser this week in Steamboat Springs for Rep. Scott Tipton. Boehner referred to Senator Ted Cruz as a “jacka$$” during his speech. The Daily Caller reported:

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.

That remark rubbed some attendees the wrong way.

“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who attended the fundraiser.

Trump would PAY Boehner to call him a similar name. You can’t get better PR in this cycle than being denigrated by a guy who is less popular than head lice. Stand by to watch Cruz jump two or three points in the polls, at least.

Everything you said...and then consider his underlings in the House power structure...in another time and place they would all be wind chimes suspended from lamp posts.

I don’t understand why Boener would do this. Does he not know that Trump is resonating with the public and that they are, in general, sick of him?

Everyone else who has made ugly comment on Trump has been vilified.

Could it be that he is stupid. He always seemed a little confused, and out of it.

Boner is a premium member of the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party, and proud of it!

Hold up

The headline says Boener called Cruz a jackass but the article says that the puke who the fundraiser was held for, called Cruz a jackass.

So what’s the story here?

I believe that (that Boehner is an alcoholic). He always seems a little dazed and out of it.

Another reason to vote Trump (or if he folds—Ted Cruz_) Boehner is a classic definition of a RINO. He must be pushed out of power! Rise Tea Party! Rise Trump Legion! We need to replace Rinos with Patriots! I would suggest Trey Gordy to replace Bony—but he will be too busy as President Trumps AG. Cruz can’t head the Senate because he will be too busy as VP. Dr. Carson will be too busy saving the VA.

Boehner IS The Best Alcoholic On Capitol Hill!

Click Any Pic To Enlarge


He’s also a closet chain-smoker, fond of the Barclay’s brand, rumored to be able to suck half a pack down in a matter of minutes if given a proper recess.

The son of a bar owner, Boehner worked alongside his father mopping the floors at Andy’s Café when he was in elementary school. Perhaps that’s where he first developed his taste for booze, but today, Congressman Boehner resembles a modern day Dean Martin of sorts, even leading a social life the legendary crooner would envy.

He’s made a name for himself with his legendary late-night parties which he first began throwing at the 1996 Republican National Convention. Nicknamed the “Best Little Warehouse” party, Boehner, (along with Bruce Gates, a tax lobbyist with Washington Council Ernst & Young and head of Mr. Boehner’s Freedom Project PAC and prominent lobbyist Henry Gandy) are known for throwing a party at the RNC that runs multiple days, often lasts until dawn and exceeds $100,000.

When Boehner replaced Tom Delay and was elected as Majority Leader back in 2006, disclosure reports filed with the FEC show that Boehner (or his representatives), spent $1,465 at the “classy” liquor store Schneider’s of Capitol Hill on February 3rd, the very next day after he was elected as leader. Clearly a celebration was in order. The bill was paid by Boehner’s slush fund, errr leadership PAC, The Freedom Project.

At the Convention, Boehner gave two awkward, drunken speeches that were embarrassing, somewhat uncomfortable, and confusing at best for those in attendance. The man could not pronounce a name if his life depended on it.(Click For More)



I have emails concerning Boehner's crying. I am trying to find a source to verify those. It is said that Boehner has been coached. He has been given "acting lessons" as it were. His "crying" is as phoney as everything else he does.

Cruz has stayed mature and out of the name-calling fray... and Boehner lays into him. When will we be rid of this Republic leadership? Do we really need to tear down the whole party and/or start a new one??

Ted Cruz has had the courage of his convictions. Boehner & McConnell have allowed their acquiescence, fear and desire to maintain "their" status quo to allow Obama to destroy this country.

Who's the jackass? Apparently the people who voted for Boehner & McConnell.
