Boehner Blasts Conservative Groups Again

Speaker John Boehner “for the second day in a row used a news conference to air grievances against the conservative outside groups who have sought to strong-arm House Republicans into moving further to the right,” Roll Call reports.

Said Boehner: “Frankly, I think they are misleading their followers. I think they’re pushing our members in places where they don’t want to be, and frankly I just think they’ve lost all credibility.”

He also blamed these groups for forcing Republicans to shut down the government in an ill-fated effort to defund Obamacare.
