John Boehner: Ted Cruz Is "Lucifer in the Flesh"

A new article in Stanford’s student paper includes one of the most inflammatory, wonderful quotes of the entire election cycle, in which the former Speaker of the House completely shits on completely unlikeable presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

The article, from a speaking appearance by a brutally honest Boehner at Stanford’s Cemex Auditorium, begins on a great enough note: “You can call me boner, beaner, jackass, happy to answer to almost anything.” Good shit, I love it, this interview is promising.

And then, delicious dessert:

Much of the discussion – and laughs – focused on Boehner’s views on the current presidential candidates. Segueing into the topic, Kennedy asked Boehner to be frank given that the event was not being broadcasted, and the former Speaker responded in kind. When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a face, drawing laughter from the crowd.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “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.”

Ask yourself: What was the last good thing that happened to Ted Cruz?
