Ex-Speaker Boehner after Capitol violence: 'The GOP must awaken'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) called on the GOP to "awaken" after a pro-Trump mob overtook police and marauded through the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

"I once said the party of Lincoln and Reagan is off taking a nap. The nap has become a nightmare for our nation," Boehner tweeted on Thursday.

"The GOP must awaken. The invasion of our Capitol by a mob, incited by lies from some entrusted with power, is a disgrace to all who sacrificed to build our Republic."

Rioters seized the Capitol in one of the darkest moments of the Capitol Wednesday as lawmakers were meeting to count the results of the Electoral College vote that will make Democrat Joe Biden president.

Fuck you.

Remember after Romny lost in 2012 and repuke think tanks said they had to change to better attract voters. Look what they became. The republican party should just fuck off and die.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that while he believes President Obama is an American citizen and a Christian, Americans have a right to think otherwise if they so choose.

"It's not my job to tell the American people what to think," Boehner said on NBC's "Meet The Press" when asked about a recent focus group of Iowa voters shown on Fox News during which several said they believe Obama is Muslim.


"The state of Hawaii has said he was born there. That's good enough for me," Boehner said. "The president says he's a Christian. I accept him at his word."
Boehner rejected the suggestion that he and other Republicans were not forcefully denouncing myths about the president's citizenship and religion because it weakens Obama politically.
