Former Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, is not holding anything back when talking about a member of his Republican party and congressman, Ted Cruz. In an interview on Thursday, Boehner referred to Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh.”
“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.
Boehner is also credited with calling Cruz a “son of a bitch”, saying, “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.”
