During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Boehner focused on what he thinks is the importance of reaching across the aisle.

The segment began with CNN’s Dana Bash claiming there have been “47 mass shootings in the United States in just over the last month.”

Bash provided no substantiation for the claim of 47 mass shootings. Instead, she just looked at Boehner and said, “Polls show that vast majorities of Americans support at least some new gun restrictions.”

She then noted that gun control was not passed after Sandy Hook when Boehner was Speaker, and asked if gun control would be a “top priority” now, were he Speaker again.

Boehner expressed hope that Republicans and Democrats will find “common ground” and affirmed it would be top priority “if” he were Speaker.

The Bushes purged the party of Reagan’s legacy. They want to do the same with Trump. This is a forty year history of open hostility to conservatives. They will never change. They are at ever level in that party and they will destroy the USA itself to retain power (arguably they did that by helping the democrats eliminate fair elections last year just so they could purge Trump). They are NOT better than democrats. Just tell different lies.

USELESS John, still drinking again. I wish the GOP had dumped him decades ago. A coward, appeaser, drunkard, joined at the hip by bean-counter incompetent Paul Ryan.

No wonder the GOP has been in the toilet for so long.

No. McConnell and McCarthy are more of the same.
