Ousted Speaker John Boehner Emerges as âQuiet Mentor,â âSurprising Tutorâ to Mike Johnson
EXCERPT:
John Boehner, the conservative nemesis turned lobbyist ousted from the speakership in 2015 for pushing Obama administration priorities, has reportedly emerged as a âquiet mentorâ to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
The report comes days after Boehner headlined a fundraiser in his native Ohio on May 30 for Johnsonâs PAC. In reporting on the upcoming fundraiser, Punchbowl News noted, âIf youâve listened to Speaker Mike Johnson recently, there is some John Boehner influence poking through.â
That influence, and the similarities between the two menâs preferred governing style, is increasingly clear.
Boehner surrendered his gavel in October 2015 amid a conservative mutiny due to his ushering through of Democrat priorities in a spending bill â and multiple previous violations of the Hastert Rule. Roughly two dozen Republican members, led by then-Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), indicated they would vote against Boehner in a âvacate the chairâ resolution, which led to Boehner resigning.
The Hastert Rule is an informal rule predicating that a Speaker must only advance legislation supported by a majority of the majority.

I have a feeling Johnson’s days as Speaker are numbered.
But if he has been listening to Boner, that would explain a bunch of his decisions.
