Speaker John Boehner held a fundraiser this week in Steamboat Springs for Rep. Scott Tipton. Boehner referred to Senator Ted Cruz as a “jacka$$” during his speech. The Daily Caller reported:
Speaker of the House John Boehner stunned audience members Wednesday evening at a Colorado fundraiser by referring to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “jackass,” two people in attendance tell The Daily Caller.
At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.
That remark rubbed some attendees the wrong way.
“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who attended the fundraiser.

Someone should tell him Hey Bonehead; it takes one to know one.
You see, there are no specific instances where Ted Cruz has interfered with Boehner's plans or actions. They operate in two separate spheres of power.
We are left to conclude that Boehner has a problem with Senator Cruz's politics. I also do not recall Speaker Boehner calling any democrat an a$$hole.
Boehner has to go.
I think the Mark Meadows motion to remove Boehner as speaker is still hanging out there for a vote after they get back from vacation or whatever they’re on. The vote was not taken prior because Boehner didn’t have the votes to retain the speakership. Saying stuff like this about Cruz isn’t going to help his case any - he many end up without the votes when the House is back in session as well.
Boehner is dead to me. Out this man out on his donkey!
And when will he use that term to describe his buddy Obama?
Thank you Carthego delenda est. I didn’t have to scroll down too far to find that.
That ought to be worth a jump in the polls!
If ever I am within 100 yards of Boner,I’ll need bail money
I know which of those two is a jackass, and it isn’t Cruz.
More than likely he had just downed several shots of bourbon or Scotch.
Boner needs to go, he is a disaster as Speaker. Perhaps with more free time he could play some golf with hid butt buddy Obama.
He needs more drinking and golf time with his demorat buddies like Obama.
He should have stayed at his father’s bar, wiping beer off the counter, a service far more useful than what he’s doing now.
