Former House Speaker John Boehner Calls Ted Cruz ‘Lucifer in the Flesh’

Some choice words from a former Republican House leader about one of the Republican Presidential candidates.

FOX’s Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:

In a Q&A session with a group at Stanford University, former House Speaker John Boehner called Texas Senator Ted Cruz Lucifer in the flesh and one of the most miserable people he’s ever worked with.

Cruz says he never worked with the former Speaker:

(Cruz) “If I had said 50 words in my life to John Boehner I’d be surprised and every one of them consisted of pleasantries ‘good to see you Mr. speaker’.” 

Current Speaker, Paul Ryan telling reporters here:

(Ryan) “I have a much better relationship than that with Senator Cruz.”

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, meantime, has picked up a few more endorsements from House Republicans, including Veterans Affairs Committee chairman Jeff Miller.
