Republican ex-speaker John Boehner claims the GOP thought Obama was a 'secret Kenyan Muslim traitor,' calls Ted Cruz a 'reckless a**hole,' and says Republican 'morons' flooded Congress in 2010

Former House Speaker John Boehner doesn't hold back when judging members of his own party in his new book, 'On the House: A Washington Memoir' He pushed Fox News Channel's Roger Ailes to stop with the conspiracy theories, only to realize Ailes had become 'president of the club' of crazies

'All of this crap swirling around was going to make it tough for me to cut any deals with Obama as the new House Speaker. Of course, it has to be said that Obama didn't help himself much either.'

'But on the other hand - how do you find common cause with people who think you are a secret Kenyan Muslim traitor to America?' Boehner observed.

Boehner complained about the tone of the new Tea Party-tied members.

'I had to explain how to actually get things done,' he explained. 'A lot of that went straight through the ears of most of them, especially the ones who didn't have brains that got in the way. Incrementalism? Compromise? That wasn't their thing.'

'A lot of them wanted to blow up Washington. That's why they thought they were elected,' he continued.

Boehner sold out long ago.

His remarks here are membership dues to the cabal in the Swamp.

“secret Kenyan Muslim traitor”

That’s a whole lot nicer than how I generally think of Obama.

John Boehner, you are degrading yourself, page by page in that book with petty namecalling. You successfully diminish and damage your own legacy, even more than your ‘Verklempt’ crying jags did.
Keep going, Johnny.
Maybe Jeb! will invite you over for Tea & Sympathy.

I can’t understand how people like him, W. Bush, Romney and other rinos let Democrats trash them for years and then kiss their a$$es and turn on their own party. Sickening.
