Doesn’t surprise me unfortunately.
No shock whatsoever. As I said yesterday when this rumor floated, I had no doubt Boehner did this. He’s a career politician and he never does anything conservative unless he’s dragged kicking and screaming by his caucus. He needs to be removed from leadership, since he provides none. If this helps justify replacing him in the minds of enough of his caucus, then this’ll be a good thing.
