Cruz Hits Boehner for 'Lucifer' Slam

EXCERPTS

"When John Boehner calls me 'Lucifer,' he's not directing that at me," the GOP presidential candidate and Florida senator said in a Fort Wayne, Indiana press conference Thursday morning.

"He's directing that at you. What Boehner is angry with me for is not something I've ever said to him. What Boehner is angry with me for is standing with the American people and energizing and encouraging House conservatives to stand with the American people and actually honor the commitments we've made."

"If I said 50 words in my life to John Boehner, I'd be surprised," said Cruz, nothing that "every one" of those conversations "has consisted of pleasantries like 'good to see you, Mr. Speaker.'"

"I've never had any substantive conversation with John Boehner in any respect," said Cruz, but he did comment that during the government shutdown, he and Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee reached out to Boehner.

Cruz: Boehner’s ‘inner Trump’ came out

By NOLAN D. MCCASKILL

04/28/16

John Boehner let his inner Donald Trump come out, Ted Cruz said Thursday in response to the former House speaker’s comments that Cruz is “Lucifer in the flesh” and the most “miserable son of a bitch” he’s ever worked with.

“John Boehner had some interesting comments last night. He actually didn’t abbreviate what he said,” Cruz told reporters during a news conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana, referring to what a reporter paraphrased as “SOB.”

“He allowed his inner Trump to come out,” Cruz added.

IIRC, Boehner won that suit against McDermott, and was awarded over $1 million. LMAO

I’d advise Cruz to keep Boehner’s mouth running if he can. No bad can come of it.

More from the article:

Cruz also pushed back on news that he and Ohio Gov. John Kasich have formed an alliance to combat Trump by backing away from each other in Indiana, Oregon and New Mexico.

“I recognize the media is eager to talk about an alliance,” said Cruz. “There is no alliance. Kasich and I made a determination where to focus party energy, where to focus our assets. Where to focus our resources.”

Lucifer Sam

Lucifer Sam, siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat’s something I can’t explain

Jennifer Gentle you’re a witch
You’re the left side
He’s the right side
Oh, no!
That cat’s something I can’t explain

Lucifer go to sea
Be a hip cat
Be a ship’s cat
Somewhere, anywhere
That cat’s something I can’t explain

At night prowling sifting sand
Hiding around on the ground
He’ll be found when you’re around
That cat’s something I can’t explain

Lyin' Ted must be one hell of a lawyer to fight the McDermott case and not say more than 44 words.

With whom would Boehner have more in common, Cruz or the other orange golf addict?

Well, in Boehner's case it's probably hard for him to separate reality from memories that sprang from a bottle.
