Cruz Hits Boehner for 'Lucifer' Slam
Newsmax ^ | April 28, 2016 | Sandy Fitzgerald

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."

(snip)

"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.

“”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,”

Hmmm,,Cruz was Boehner’s attorney. Does he deny that? Did he never talk to his client?

Why does Cruz lie so much?

Long before John Boehner called Ted Cruz ‘Lucifer in the flesh,’ he called him his lawyer

It seems like more lawyer speak from Cruz.

“Cruz also served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehner’s lawsuit against Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation.[48]”

Cruz said today he hardly knows Boehner and that they have never exchanged over 40 words. Is he lying?

Boehner’s comments means nothing to me. In fact, it means I will probably give more credit to Cruz.

Do people think that real change and reform and cutting of our $3.5 TRILLION dollar government is NOT going to piss some people off - particularly someone like Boehner, who entire reputation and mindset is built on reaching agreement with Obama.

Sorry, 50 words... I am so glad I dumped him when I did.

I get understand, but my point here is that Cruz is lying about not knowing Boehner.

Last thing this nation needs is another ineligible junior senator Harvard Law school grad. Go home Ted and stop lying if you are able.

As a Texan, I can get on board with Cruz being

the GOP presidential candidate and Florida senator

(Are the political reporters from Newsmax really so stupid they don't know what state Cruz is from? )

Hillary Clinton.... While accepting responsibility for security lapses related to the 2012 Benghazi attack, she said she had no direct role in consulate security prior to that attack.

I see your point, but my interpretation is that Ted was talking about his conversations with Boehner as Speaker.

Could be taken either way, and my guess is that Boehner's drinking has destroyed several billion brain cells.

Considering Ted was part of the team that made a million for Boehner, I thought he'd show a bit more respect. Perhaps Boehner didn't want to lose his tee times at Trump courses.

All in all, Boehner's just a bitter old drunk.

Ted is literally the biggest liar on Earth. Even Obama is jealous Cruz can lie so easily and thinks he can get away with it. I love that Cruz is so insignificant that they don’t know what state he is from and put him as Florida senator. Lol.
