Ted Cruz Slams Outgoing John Boehner Over ‘Early Reports’ That He ‘Cut a Deal’ With Nancy Pelosi...
The Blaze ^ | Sep. 25, 2015

WASHINGTON — Hours after House Speaker John Boehner announced that he would be resigning from Congress, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz added fuel to the fire by saying he’d heard “early reports” that Boehner cut a deal with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to continue funding some of President Barack Obama’s most controversial measures.

“I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House,” Cruz told reporters at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington.

The speaker’s office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from TheBlaze about Cruz’s charge.

Why would Boehner have to cut a deal with Pelosi. Makes no sense.

The next couple rounds of congressional elections will be real interesting. We’ve seen the Tea Party win in the past — but nothing ever changed. I’m hoping that a lot of fresh blood comes into the legislature and that it wants to engage in rough-and-tumble with the Left.

“to land in a cushy K Street job “ Like Yeb and Lehman brothers.

Cruz has been on the money so far. It looks like Bonehead may be getting ready to screw us one last time, and royally.

A new cromnibus “clean” crap sandwich will probably only be passed with Democratic and RINO votes.

You heard it here first.

PSSSSST: Boehner is worried that Nancy might tell people he's an alcoholic. If that secret ever got out, he'd just die of embarassment!

“We” the collective right wing. “WE” as in America”.

“WE” did this to ourselves. Maybe you didn’t. I didn’t”. But “WE” the right, did.

NO MATTER WHAT! Remember?

This time, Norm, you've lost me. I thought you were talking about electing Boehner which very few FReepers, if any, had a hand in doing.

Perhaps I've gotten a whiff of Boehner's breath and have become intoxicated because I do not understand what you are saying to me.
