John Boehner on Ted Cruz: 'Lucifer in the flesh. I have never worked with a more miserable SOB in my life'

Well, we guess Ted Cruz can cross former Speaker of the House John Boehner off his Christmas list:

Here’s the full quote which happened in an interview at Stanford University on Wednesday:

Flashback. Would Pope Francis approve of Boehner’s description of Cruz?

Boehner also revealed that he’s texting and golf buddies with Donald Trump and that he won’t vote for Ted Cruz for president:

More great Boehner nuggets—Kasich is a needy friend, he texts with Trump, would vote for him but never for Cruz https://t.co/D0TTCGSilk

Maybe this is good news for Cruz as the GOP base hates the GOPe and Boehner certainly is GOPe:

This is the most ringing endorsement of @tedcruz that I have heard yet. John Boehner doesn't like him. https://t.co/DV2hfbrg1B

Since Boehner made his political career screwing taxpayers to help the Democrats, of course he is supporting Trump.

Has Boehner ever used such rhetoric against Democrats?

Bohener did mock Hillary Clinton as well, because the GOP doesn’t have a big enough problem with women this election cycle:

But apparently his impression didn’t go over so well:

Read that John Boehner interview. Glad the reaction was negative when he made the woman comment about Hillary Clinton.

This quote from Boehner on #Hillary says so much about emasculation and the intrinsic benefit of electing a woman /1 pic.twitter.com/D0wtnzd0Qp
