Boehner has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pelosi-and-the-swamp-millions-of-babies-killed-record-overdoses-job-loss-and-open-borders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more complimentary<\/a> of Pelosi than he has for the likes of the Tea Party, House Freedom Caucus, or former President Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, all three mentioned have stood athwart the D.C. establishment that has expanded the size of government, weakened our borders, and shipped American jobs overseas \u2014 among other disasters to the detriment of most Americans. Neither the establishment of the Democrat nor Republican Party likes being challenged.<\/p>\n<p>The two speakers are enmeshed in The Uniparty and work to keep out challengers in the ranks. That\u2019s why they have each other\u2019s respect.<\/p>\n<p>So rather than stand up for Republicans who buck D.C. politicians, Boehner has previously lamented that \u201cnot every Republican is a Reagan Republican. Some of them are just knuckleheads. I had my share of battles with the knuckleheads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That line was likely about the aforementioned House Freedom Caucus \u2014 the group co-founded by current Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and now features folks like Representative Chip Roy (R-TX).<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Boehner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/2017\/10\/john-boehner-on-republican-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whined<\/a>, \u201cThey can\u2019t tell you what they\u2019re for. They can tell you everything they\u2019re against. They\u2019re anarchists. They want total chaos. Tear it all down and start over. That\u2019s where their mindset is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, actually the Freedom Caucus can tell you exactly what it stands for. All you have to do is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/freedomcaucus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">look<\/a> at their Twitter bio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe support open, accountable &#038; limited govt, the Constitution &#038; the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety &#038; prosperity of all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, they\u2019ve demanded actual bills which would accomplish those goals \u2014 not just sound good for gullible voters.<\/p>\n<p>What they want is not that complex. That\u2019s what most Republicans claim to do on the campaign trail before they get to D.C.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s not that Boehner doesn\u2019t know what the group stands for, it\u2019s that actually following through on conservative goals would result in being criticized and losing the friendship of the Left.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not taking true criticism from the Left, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019re being \u201ceffective\u201d at defeating them \u2014 which is the whole point of electing Republicans in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The only GOP-ers who Democrats appreciate are the ones who don\u2019t stand in their way \u2014 in other words, controlled opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, some elected Republicans sympathize with Americans who have been crushed by the heavy hand of big government. Some conservatives actually believe in traditional values and want Congress to defend life in the womb, promote policies that benefit the family, and defend America\u2019s Judeo-Christian values.<\/p>\n<p>Boehner doesn\u2019t have sympathy for those citizens, but he has been moved by the struggles of Pelosi in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Nancy Pelosi and other sane Democrats \u2014 the ones who\u2019ve been around long enough to know how things work \u2014 are dealing with from AOC and her Squad reminds me a lot of what I had to deal with during my days as Speaker from the far-right kooks of the Tea Party or the Freedom Caucus or whatever they were calling themselves,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/open\/2021\/04\/john-boehners-political-memoir-disses-trump-and-tea-party-but-avoids-ohio-controversies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in his memoir.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP base is made up of \u201cfar-right kooks,\u201d according to Boehner.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi, as he said Wednesday night, is \u201cone tough cookie\u201d worthy of praise.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to recall Boehner calling Pelosi a \u201ckook\u201d for supporting amnesty, abortion, or any of President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous policies over the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously enough, Boehner admitted that he and the California congresswoman \u201cdisagreed optically on many things, but we were never disagreeable to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOptically\u201d should serve as the operative word here. The two disagreed at first glance, but below the surface, the two had more in common than they let the public see.<\/p>\n<p>Many Republicans are not in D.C. to work on behalf of conservatives, they are there to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bad-news-for-americans-bipartisanship-is-back-here-comes-amnesty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make deals with Democrats<\/a> at the expense of the base.<\/p>\n<p>With Boehner \u2014 and his cronies still lingering around the GOP Establishment \u2014 it is all a smoke-and-mirror parlor game.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that is what he meant when he told her, \u201cGame recognizes game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through tears, former Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), blubbered ignominiously about how outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has always been \u201cunfailingly gracious\u201d to him on Wednesday night.
