Boehner barks at, but refuses to bite, the Tea Party.

After Rep. Steve King, one of the most vocal and strongest members of the Tea Party in Congress, came out with his vile and repulsive comments about most Dreamers being drug mules, Speaker John Boehner, and several others in the GOP hierarchy, said that there was no place for talk like that. But did that stop Rep. King? Does it stop any kid to tell them what they're doing is wrong and then not punish them? That's right, absolutely not.

Although Speaker Boehner said it was wrong of Rep. King to talk like that, Rep. King doubled down, saying he had it on good authority that his numbers were right, and he was the expert on Dreamers and drug mules, not the Speaker. So after all this, why is Rep. King still the Vice-Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law? That's right, the subcommittee that has jurisdiction on immigration and border security has as the second most powerful person the same person that made such a ridiculous statement. And that's okay with the Speaker. As a matter of fact, last month, the Speaker passed through the House a bill by Rep. King to allow the deportation of all Dreamers.

So, Speaker Boehner says that Rep. King's word have no place in the GOP. But his actions say, you're one of us, Steve King. Boehner barks, but refuses to bite the Tea Party. And that's all America needs to know about Boehner to decide what a horrible Speaker he is.
