Former Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) writes in his new memoir that former Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) wanted to be placed on the powerful House Ways and Means, and that he turned her down, Axios reports.
Writes Boehner: “Her response to me was calm and matter-of-fact. ‘Well, then I’ll just have to go talk to Sean Hannity and everybody at Fox and Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and everybody else on the radio, and tell them that this is how John Boehner is treating the people who made it possible for the Republicans to take back the House.'”
He added: “I wasn’t the one with the power, she was saying. I just thought I was. She had the power now. She was right, of course.”
