Ex-House Speaker Boehner Calls Cruz "Lucifer in the Flesh"
----------------------------------------------------------

Former House Speaker John Boehner launched a verbal attack against
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, calling him "Lucifer in the
flesh" and a "miserable son of a bitch." Boehner was speaking during a
forum at Stanford University. The comments were recorded by journalists
from the campus paper, The Stanford Daily. This clip begins with
Stanford history professor David Kennedy.

John Boehner: "Lucifer in the flesh. In Washington, I have many Democrat
friends, and I have Republican friends. I get along with almost
everybody. But I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch
in my life."
