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.

I don’t know about all of that. I don’t know how a bunch of gun control laws help all the poor people that democrats supposedly serve either. I used to defend Boehner right here at FR when he was attacked savagely. But now, one Buckeye to another, I want to give that blubbering drunk something to cry about. let’s raise his taxes. Let’s raise the minimum wage. Let’s pay off the student loans. let’s give people free health care and free college educations. What are we waiting for Democrats? Chop Chop. Times a tickin’.
My family is done voting for Republicans who hate us. The party needs to die. The sooner the better.
And now we know where the knife in our backs came from.

Boenher is just what this Congre$$ needs. Another gutless RINO that just used Congre$$ to fatten his wallet.
for those that live in the fantasy world where the GOP is a conserative alternative to the democrats, wake up. They are all telling you who they really are.
Yeah, I don’t think the swamp GOP is losing any sleep over those committeemen slots going to MAGA folks. Boehner and Liz Cheney are the GOP. Nothing is going to change that.
For years, ‘Boner’ was as quiet as a mouse. All of a sudden he is in the news every day.
Has me wondering if he spent all the graft money he hauled in during his congressional years and is looking for new opportunities to screw over the peasantry for his own profit.
He gives alcoholics a bad name.
Kosh: “The truth points to itself”
What a finocchio.

So all you need to do is write a book no one will buy, the you become relevant again?
These beltway sewer rats waited For Trump to be out of office to write books. Now they are all popping up. Bush, Boehner, etc.
RINO status confirmed...
Like we needed it?
The ability of the people to resist tyranny can not be vanquished from the Earth.
Saltpeter, the basic ingredient of gunpowder, can be made from what normally gets flushed down toilets.
Any politician who speaks of “gun control” is scientifically ignorant.
BUT WAIT! Who do you hate More?
Boehner of Karl Rove?
It a Tie for me.
He’s pretty much full-blown Rat now.
RINO of the year
RINO without peer
That is why he is no longer speaker! Enough said.
