Former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is blaming former President Trump for the deadly Jan. 6 rioting at the U.S. Capitol, saying he riled the crowd to commit violent acts for "selfish" political reasons.
“Whatever they end up doing, or not doing, none of it will compare to one of the lowest points of American democracy that we lived through in January 2021," Boehner writes in a new book set to be published this month, excerpts of which were obtained by the New York Times.
The former Speaker also wrote that Trump “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the bullshit he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.”
Boehner said it was "painful" for him to watch what unfolded at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and the incident "should have been a wake-up call for a return to Republican sanity.”

I thought Boner had finally died of lung cancer. Or maybe cirrhosis.
Anyway, he must be out of money and looking for gimmes from swamp creatures.

What a total disappointment Boehner is. Is it any wonder that with leaders such as he, the GOP was constantly fading in the face of Democrat aggression?

Wondered why he is rearing his ugly head now. Then I saw he is hawking a book. Figures. Look at me. Look at me. I’m still relevant.

I suspect a majority of Republicans (and an overwhelming majority of Conservatives) see this traitorous scum and feel dislike if not open disgust for him.
And the Left? Well, they have an ENORMOUS amount of contempt for the likes of him, but are all too happy to pat him on the back as a useful idiot.
And him? Self-loathing bag of human waste.

Even more disgusting is the creeping thought he was in it with the Left from day one as a tool.
