Rich Iott Won't Commit to Backing Boehner for Speaker

By CQ-Roll Call Staff | October 30, 2010 10:33 AM


TOLEDO, Ohio -- Republican Rich Iott, the controversial Congressional candidate who has drawn fire for donning a German Waffen SS uniform, refused on Saturday to say whether he would support Minority Leader John Boehner for Speaker should the GOP win control of the House on Tuesday.

Iott's comments were made moments after Boehner spoke to a group of Republican volunteers at the Lucas County Republican Party headquarters in downtown Toledo.

"I don't know, we'll have to wait and see," Iott told Roll Call when asked if Boehner would have his support for the top House job if Republicans successfully win the majority in the House.

Iott, a tea party favorite, did not say who he would support instead of Boehner.

Boehner has received heavy criticism for his continued support for Iott after the photos of the Republican candidate in the SS uniform surfaced on the Atlantic.

1. Amazing! Why would he not do that? It's not like there is another

popular Teabagger or Nazi bucking for speaker that would benefit him to support. I mean no disrespect to Boehner. I'm sure he's just as good a Nazi as anyone:)

2. Even if Boehner dressed up in a Hitler costume?
