Cruz: Boehner "is angry with me for standing with American people & energizing House conservatives"

The Texas Republican blasted Boehner, who stepped down from his Congressional seat in September after a lengthy career in the House, as symptomatic of "everything that is wrong and corrupt with Washington."

"What Boehner is angry with me for isn't anything I've said to him -- I haven't said much of anything to him," Cruz said. "What Boehner is angry with me for is standing with the American people -- is energizing House conservatives to stand with the American people and actually honor the commitments we've made."

Cruz's claim that he's never spoken more than fifty words to Boehner is a dubious one, however.

As the Washington Post reported in 2014, Cruz was once Boehner's lawyer -- a fact Boehner divulged during an appearance on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show."

only Cruz is to stupid to see how horrible congress is. Boehner on the other hand knows exactly how many times Cruz and his tea party brain dead idiots screwed up over the years. And more to the point how many times the stabbed Boehner in the back in attempted take-overs. Well they got their man Paul Ryan in now and they all hate him too because tea party people are d u m b. Plain and simple.

Not that I want to defend the Orange One, but I believe he really wanted to DO something, not just prevent things. And Cruz helped make that impossible.
