THROWING HIS BOOK AT THEM

And Boehner is not shy about getting personal with the whack jobs... 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 had been furious at the more extreme type of Republicans since the rise of the Tea Party movement during the 2010 midterm elections. There was no love lost between Boehner and Obama whom John describes as “too cool for school.” And Boehner was glad to get a Republican House majority and become Speaker, but ... You could be a total moron and get elected just by having an R next to your name – and that year, by the way, we did pick up a fair number in that category. Boehner calls out “the far-right knuckleheads that came to Congress radicalized by blind Obama hatred” and says... They didn’t really want to cut spending. They didn’t want Washington to work. They wanted chaos. And they wanted to go on TV complaining about spending without solving the problem, and then watch the money from outraged viewers flow into their own fundraising coffers. Boehner is not shy about getting personal with the Tea Partiers either...

But watch out when John yells, “Timber!” He takes his axe to a lot more things than Democrats. Boehner came away from 24 years as a Republican Congressman with detestation for... a certain kind of Republican. Here are his thoughts when calling on President Trump to resign after the January 6 invasion of the Capital... My Republican party – the party of smaller, fairer, more accountable government – had to take back control from the faction that had grown to include everyone from garden-variety whack jobs to insurrectionists. John Boehner is so blunt that reading his book is like watching a man trying to fell a mighty oak with the flat end of a hatchet – and the next thing you know the tree has come crashing down.
