| Boehner doesn't want to talk about what goes on in Washington anymore. He just want to sit back in his recliner and smoke a couple of those Camel 99s. |
The Politico caught up with former House Speaker John Boehner. The former Ohio congressman lays out a profanity-laced interview about the current state of politics. The former congressman takes shots at fellow Republicans, the House Freedom Caucus, notable conservative agitators and Donald J. Trump.
In the interview, he rips former Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz. He called him an asshole. Chaffetz was one of the many members who voted against Boehner's dealership role. Chaffetz retired earlier this year from Congress pending an investigation into his finances. Chaffetz was one of the most frequent critics of Hillary Clinton's emails. The former congressman is now a paid contributor to Fox News.
Boehner ripped current lawmakers in the Freedom Caucus as a bunch of anarchists. He labeled Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) a bunch of stone age obstructionsts. He calls them a bunch of morons who can't even find a way out of box.
He said that conservative agitators are making it harder for Republicans to get their job done.
Boehner singled out Sean "Softball" Hannity as one of the problems. Boehner recalled a conversation with the controversial annoying Trump ass eating agitator. He said the softball is a fucking idiot.
He said that during the debt ceiling vote, he urged the agitator to not go off on him while they're trying to whip votes. The softball went there and mocked him for being a grown man who cries in public.

| Boehner was best known for crying. He was really an emotional guy. |
He had no nice words for Donald J. Trump.
Boehner believes that Trump's promises will not be fulfilled. He thinks that Trump we'll have a reality check when really important issues come forth.
Boehner fears that Steve Bannon's influence on Republicans will cost them generations of voters. Boehner believes that Trump's sense of nationalism is incoherent to the issues that Americans are facing. When asked about Trump's offensive rhetoric being racially charged, Boehner rejects the notion. Boehner doesn't believe Trump is a racist.
John were you sober when you said this? That conversation never happened. I’m sorry you are bitter and u failed! https://t.co/SLquw7rXZv— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) October 30, 2017
He did say that Republicans are dipping their toe in racism.
Boehner does have respect for Mike Pence. Boehner and Pence were very good friends. Pence was the House Majority Whip before he gave it up to be governor of Indiana. Pence is the second banana to Trump. He said that Pence reached out to Eric Cantor after his stunning lost to Dave Brat, the current Republican lawmaker from Virginia.
Boehner said that he respected most of the presidents. He misses the days where people got along. He got along with George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Boehner even referred Obama as a friend. Even though, the two had a contentious relationship during the healthcare debate, Obama did reach out to Boehner constantly for advice. Boehner often joked about Obama's golf game.
Boehner admitted that Obama did quit smoking because he feared what Michelle Obama would do to him if he got caught smoking one more time.
When Politico ask about the criticism Obama got during his time as president and the current state of affairs, Boehner remark that Obama was more transformative than Trump. He actually faults Republicans for demonizing Obama. He said Obama isn't the one who is dividing America.
He blames conservative outlets like Fox News, MSNBC, talk radio and partisan blogs for the divide.
Boehner offers a little bit of advice for House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Fix it your damn self.
Boehner had offered Ryan the position of House Speaker at the time of his announcement. At first Ryan rejected the idea of being the leader. It took a lot of pressure to get Ryan on board. Paul Ryan wanted to keep a low profile. Ryan was then the running mate for Mitt Romney.
Romney lost to Obama in a landslide.
After a stunning defeat in the 2012 Presidential election, Ryan wanted to keep himself out of the limelight. Now as House speaker, Ryan now has a harder job than Boehner. Right now the Republicans haven't accomplished much since Trump became their leader. House Republicans are feuding with Ryan over how things are not getting done.
Ryan is secretly talking behind their backs and cussing at them for trying to pressure him to do something. Boehner remarks that now Ryan knows how it is when you have that much power. Boehner also remarks the previous House speakers like Dennis Hastart, Newt Gingrich and current lawmaker Democrat from California Nancy Pelosi. Boehner knows how it is now being the leader of a party.

Try not to cry or cough like you've lost a lung.
