Boehner: Cruz is 'Lucifer in the flesh'
The former House speaker also says that he would vote for Trump, and called the two of them 'texting buddies.'
When it comes to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, even a few months’ time out of Congress has done little to lessen former Speaker John Boehner’s contempt for his former Capitol Hill colleague.
“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner told an audience at Stanford on Wednesday night, according to the
Stanford Daily. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
In fact, Wednesday night was not the first occasion that Boehner has compared Cruz to “Lucifer,” using the epithet
last month during a question-and-answer session with reporters at the Futures Industry Association conference in Boca Raton, Florida.
