Boehner: I Haven’t Spoken to Ted Cruz ‘Since He’s Been Elected’

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) talks to a lot of people in the course of doing his job, but for some reason, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) isn’t one of them, how very curious.

“I’ve not talked to him since he’s been elected,” Boehner revealed in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer, and left it at that. Cruz was elected in 2012 and played a major role in recent events that threatened to derail Boehner’s agenda, like the times Cruz attempted to hijack down the federal government over Obamacare, the debt ceiling, border patrol, etc.

Boehner didn’t elaborate further, according to the wide-ranging interview, but did admit that he had at least one best friend in the Senate:

“[Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell] and I could not be closer,” Boehner said. “We understand each other very well.”

It’s like a contentious divorce with a trillion-dollar alimony that’s taking place in a high school.

Even during the whole govt shutdown thing??

[Revel]

That is because he is too busy paling up with Obama.

[GraceG]

I am sure Ted is just broken up about it...

[molson209]

Boehner is only on load from the Demonuts

[workerbee]

LOL — that’s because as soon as Cruz approaches him, he starts to wet his pants. So he runs in the other direction to try and keep what’s left of his dignity intact.

I’d like to see Ted put his boot in your sorry butt, John.

[tennmountainman]

Bonehead is scared $itless on Cruze.

[RIghtwardHo]

I mean I haven’t heard Ted come out and say otherwise, but my knee-jerk reaction is ... liar.

[KC Burke]

Sigmund Freud would have fun with your typo.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I guess Boehner was disappointed to learn that Cruz wasn’t gay. Boehner is a traitor and a douche bag.

[Red_Devil 232]

Me either John! But given the chance I would have welcomed the chance to have a nice long chat with him!

[VRW Conspirator]

Eric Holder is right...a nation white house of cowards.

[Textide]

Ted Cruz’s stock just went up in my opinion.

[Uncle Miltie]

GOPe doesn’t engage with actual conservatives.

But he’s 0bama’s buddy.

“[Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell] and I could not be closer,” Boehner said. “We understand each other very well.”

That’s the problem. Who voted these losers into leadership?

[Zuse]

Cruz?
How many divisions does he have?

[ought-six]

FUJB! Crawl back to your basement and amuse yourself with a case of Old Grand Dad.

[Chgogal]

Something he and Senator Reid have in common?
