Ted Cruz is 'Lucifer in the flesh', says former speaker John Boehner

‘Never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch,’ says Boehner, but presidential hopeful Cruz counters: ‘I don’t even know the man’



John Boehner, the former House speaker, has called presidential candidate Ted Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh” in remarks that expose the depth of discontent within the Republican party.

Speaking at a town hall-style event for students at Stanford University in California on Wednesday, Boehner called front-runner Donald Trump his “texting buddy”, but offered a more graphic response when asked about the Texas senator.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

His comments were first reported by Stanford’s student newspaper.

Cruz, campaigning in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Thursday ahead of the state’s 3 May primary, responded by saying Boehner was letting his “inner Trump come out”.

Over 40M people of Irish descent are in the United States, 8x more than the population of Ireland

The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a nation and ethnic group native to the island of Ireland, who share a common Irish ancestry, identity and culture. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland).
