Kevin McCarthy doles out political payback against conservatives
by David Leach • January 18, 2019 When he was still in Congress, John Boehner was a master at selling out conservative values to Barack Obama’s agenda, and he routinely did all he could to silence conservatives who dared to oppose him or the Republican Party.
Boehner’s capitulating cowardice in favor of Obama and the Democrats was so blatant that there was an attempt in 2014 to kick his progressive posterior to the curb as House Speaker, an attempt that failed in large part due to retaliatory threats leveled against those who dared to vote against his re-election for the job.
When another attempt to replace Boehner as Speaker started picking up steam in 2015, he not only re-issued his threats, but he picked up the endorsements of Democrats who were concerned that a TEA Party Republican might replace him.
