‘BLAME THE WINE’

Boehner Tells Ted Cruz ‘Go F**k Yourself’ in Audio Version of New Memoir

The former House speaker tweeted a picture of himself swilling wine during a Thursday recording session for the audio version of the book.

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner has left no room for doubt about his feelings for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) while making the audio version of his upcoming memoir, reportedly going off-script to tell the Texas Republican to “go f--k yourself.” Boehner made the aside during the recording of the audiobook version of On the House: A Washington Memoir, Axios reports, and it’s staying in the final cut. “Oh, and Ted Cruz, go f--k yourself,” Boehner says. He tweeted a picture of himself swilling wine during a Thursday recording session as well: “Poured myself a glass of something nice to read my audiobook. You can blame the wine for the expletives.”
