Former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is blaming former President Trump for the deadly Jan. 6 rioting at the U.S. Capitol, saying he riled the crowd to commit violent acts for “selfish” political reasons.
“Whatever they end up doing, or not doing, none of it will compare to one of the lowest points of American democracy that we lived through in January 2021,” Boehner wrote in a new book set to be published this month, excerpts of which were obtained by The New York Times.
The former Speaker also wrote that Trump “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the [garbage] he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.”
Boehner said it was “painful” for him to watch what unfolded at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and the incident “should have been a wake-up call for a return to Republican sanity.”

Blaming Trump for it sounds more like opportunisms than being a RINO.
He knows that is what people want him to say, he will get a lot of good press etc. for doing so but ti still doesn’t make him a RINO
Nice tan John. This Rino, when he had the Republican majority in the House, did absolutely NOTHING! He was so intimidated by Obama’s unelected hit-man, Eric Holder, he capitulated like a worthless camera.
He is 100% right trump was always about himself and he wanted them to storm the capital and he definitely incited it.
CNN do not do braille. The networks are more hefty that Donald has trousers.
Copy up. No television= safe mind.
Former, ( thank G-D for this “chessed”), President Trump, has already gone down in history as a narcissistic, self-serving, chronic & pathological liar.
Former House Speaker John Boehner is 100% correct! Trump is wholly responsible for the January 6, 2021 insurrection on the United States Capitol!
Only HE, who “…neither slumbers nor sleeps…” (Psalm 121), saved our Democracy!!P
Please. We’re in galus. We have to respect our current and former Presidents. We must show hakaras hatov.
