John Boehner Says Congressman Once Held a Knife to His Throat

Well. This is definitely a weird story.

Fox News:

Former House Speaker John Boehner, who retired in October 2015, is no longer holding back his anger against several of his former colleagues in Congress.

The Ohio Republican talked to Politico Magazine in a lengthy profile Sunday about the widening political divide in America. But he saved his harshest words for conservatives who worked alongside him. Among them: Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who became the chairman of the House Oversight Committee after Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, announced his resignation from Congress, and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who helped found the House’s Freedom Caucus, which frequently clashed with Boehner.

“Gowdy — that’s my guy, even though he doesn’t know how to dress,” Boehner said. “F— Jordan. F— [Jason] Chaffetz. They’re both a–holes.”

Boehner called Chaffetz a “total phony” who was more obsessed with self-promotion than the American people. Chaffetz resigned from Congress in June and joined Fox News as a contributor. He didn’t immediately respond.

He’s Jewish, by the way.

It was good to see him out of Congress. Boehner is right about him. Wish he would have brought up the Jew thing though.

“Jordan was a terrorist as a legislator going back to his days in the Ohio House and Senate,” Boehner added to Politico. “A terrorist. A legislative terrorist.”

…

Boehner also recounted that before he was best man at Rep. Don Young’s wedding, the Alaska Republican restrained him against a wall and held a 10-inch knife to knife to his throat during a fight over measures that fund projects in lawmakers’ home districts.

Boehner responded by staring Young in the eyes and saying, “F— you.”

Young told Politico that Boehner’s recollection was “mostly true.”

Hm. Yeah. That seems like a really weird thing, to have Congressmen holding knives to each others throats in the capital.

I mean, I guess he’s from Alaska, but still.

Seems strange.

Like, the sort of thing that doesn’t really generally happen in professional settings. I guess I can imagine that happening at an auto-mechanic shop, or a marijuana dispensary, but anything involving lawyers… it’s unexpected.

I mean, you gotta have a real mess for people to be holding knives to each others throats, in any situation.
