Report: John Boehner Called Ted Cruz A 'Jackass' At Colorado Fundraiser
Source: Talking Points Memo
Attendees at a Republican fundraiser in Colorado Wednesday say that House Speaker John Boehner called Sen. Ted Cruz a "jackass," the Daily Caller reported
Two of the attendees -- one going on record with his name -- told the Daily Caller that Boehner referred to the Texas Republican as a jackass during his remarks. In their accounts, Boehner said that the 2016 presidential race kept "that jackass" away from Washington.
The event was a fundraiser for Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Cruz has long had a reputation for being a thorn in Boehner's side, having led a government shutdown over Obamacare for 2013 and publicly causing leadership headaches on various occasions.

I had assumed there was no topic on which I agreed with Boehner.
I stand corrected.
