Cruz Reacts to John Boehner Calling Him a ‘Jackass’

Ted Cruz today reacted to John Boehner calling him a “jackass” at a Colorado fundraiser.

A Daily Caller report said individuals at the fundraiser heard the Speaker joking that he’s glad that Cruz’s campaign is keeping “that jackass” out of Washington and away from lecturing him about how to do his job.

Scott Walker defended Cruz a few days ago and said it’s unhelpful and uncalled for, but on Hugh Hewitt‘s radio show tonight, Cruz took the high road.

He refused to get down in the gutter and engage in “ad hominem attacks” like Boehner’s “profanity-laden assault” when people are sick and tired of politicians “bickering like schoolyard children.”
