Monday on CBS’s “This Morning,†former House Speaker John Boehner discussed his criticisms of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) from his forthcoming book, “On the House: A Washington Memoir.â€
Host Gayle King asked Boehner what “bugs†him the most about Cruz to the point of “taking really big shots at him†in his book.
Boehner, who called Cruz a “jerk†in another recent interview, described Cruz as a “reckless jackass who thinks he’s smarter than everybody else.â€
“Well, this guy wasn’t even a member of the United States House of Representatives. He was a member of the Senate, stirring up some of the crazies in my own caucus to cause all kinds of problems,†Boehner replied. “And it’s probably why I zeroed in on him — probably the only person in this book in the way that I did. As I say in the book, there’s nothing worse than a reckless jackass who thinks he’s smarter than everybody else.â€
King stated, “Yeah, you said he’s one of these guys who knows all of the answers, and we all know somebody like that.â€
“We sure do,†Boehner responded.
