Cruz on Boehner: 'I wear with pride his drunken, bloviated scorn'
By Celine Castronuovo - 04/09/21 02:41 PM EDT

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Friday bashed former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for what he called “drunken, bloviated scorn” in the latest tit for tat between the two GOP figures.

Cruz in a tweet responded to a clip from a “CBS Sunday Morning” interview scheduled to air this weekend in which Boehner said of Cruz, “I don’t beat anybody up, it’s not really my style, except for that jerk.”

“Perfect symbol, you know, of getting elected, making a lot of noise, draw a lot of attention to yourself, raise a lot of money, which means you’re gonna go make more noise, raise more money,” Boehner said in the interview.

“It’s really, it’s unfortunate,” he added to CBS’s John Dickerson.

Cruz shared the clip, writing, “The Swamp is unhappy. I wear with pride his drunken, bloviated scorn.”

“Please don’t cry,” the Texas senator added, referencing multiple instances from Boehner’s tenure in which the former Speaker became emotional in public.

Cruz learned the best lesson Trump had to teach.

When the enemy strikes out at you, strike back twice as hard and don't miss.

Good for Cruz.

I'm glad he fired back at him.   

We don't have many conservatives left that the swamp hasn't gotten rid of.  Hoping that he's able to retain his seat. He's in a tough position with not a whole lot of people in Congress on his side.

I'm sure if he's still around that McConnell will happily finance a primary challenger to Cruz, if Cruz decides to remain a Senator and not try another run for the White House.
