King Says He Faced Retribution from Boehner

Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a leading conservative opponent of President Obama’s executive action on immigration, said Speaker John Boehner’s office canceled funding at the last-minute for what he called “a very important diplomatic mission,” CNN reports.

“That came after King and a group of about 50 Republicans opposed Boehner’s eleventh-hour attempt to fund the Department of Homeland Security without rolling back the executive order.”

Said King: “He’s currently throwing tantrums. This is retribution on the highest scale.”
