ERIC CANTOR: BOEHNER’S CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION LYING ABOUT WHAT GOP COULD ACCOMPLISH.

Breitbart: Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor pens an op-ed for the New York Times defending Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), who announced his resignation from Congress on Friday. Further, Cantor attacks conservative media for demanding House Republicans under Boehner’s leadership fight harder and make fewer concessions to President Obama.

From the New York Times:

Like so many others, I was stunned by Speaker John A. Boehner’s announcement on Friday that he would step down at the end of October. For nearly six years — first as Republican whip and then as majority leader — I met with John on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis as we worked to lead the House Republican Conference. It is no secret that we had different styles and personalities, but he was always selfless, a man who put the nation, his constituents, the House of Representatives and the party before himself.

[S]omewhere along the road, a number of voices on the right began demanding that the Republican Congress not only block Mr. Obama’s agenda but enact a reversal of his policies. They took to the airwaves and the Internet and pronounced that congressional Republicans could undo the president’s agenda — with him still in office, mind you — and enact into law a conservative vision for government, without compromise.

  1. And one wonders why cantor was beaten in the primary?

    boehner’s only accomplishment (outside obama’s agenda) was to punish, demote and ridicule Conservatives who support the constitution and were trying to dismantle the marxist/socialist obama agenda.

    boehner, the arlen specter of the house, betrayed all republican principles, all the time.

    See ya back in Ohio, John, ………oh I forgot you bought a home in Florida. Flee John, flee with your $millions and live the life of luxury that we the tax payers are paying for.

  2. The old corrupt GOPe is pulling out all the stops to stop the Donald. Walker leaves the race, at their direction, and dissses Donald, and now the GOPe’s have pushed out an inept and flack-catching Boehner to further try to slow down Trump! Yes, the GOPe sacrificed their best bud, Crying John, as a means to an end!
