GOP CONGRESSMAN SCOLDED FOR BEING 'PLAYED' BY BOEHNER
Laura Ingraham Exposes Bill Designed to 'Placate' Conservatives
December 4, 2014 - WND - FOX News
Boehner Holds Press Briefing At The Capitol
House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio (Trader To GOP)
A Republican House member sponsoring a bill purporting to roll back President Obamas executive action on immigration is being played for a fool by House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, charged talk-radio host Laura Ingraham.
Ingraham told the bills sponsor, Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., in a radio interview Wednesday that Boehner is supporting the measure as a move to placate the conservative base. Conservatives are angered by the House leaders agreement to a continuing resolution on the budget that would effectively strip Republicans of their power to stop Obamas plan to allow up to 5 million i*****l a***ns to remain in the U.S.
Even Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid favors Yohos bill, Ingraham argued, and the congressman admitted Boehner has not agreed to fight Obamas executive actions in March when the continuing resolution expires March 31.
Yoho pushed back, but the talk host contended theres no mention in your very short bill of funding, and the way to stop [Obama] is to use the power of the purse.
Yoho replied: I agree with you a 100 percent and thats the purpose of the CR we are going to come up with, but this [stand alone bill] takes away [Obama's] legal authority.
Ingraham shot back: No, it doesnt. The court can only take away his legal authority.
She argued the Constitution doesnt give authority to the House of Representatives to declare a bill unconstitutional.
The thing youre left to do is stop funding of this outrage that is k*****g American jobs, Ingraham said.
Congressman, I like you, but Im going to say it
youre being played here.
Ingraham asserted Yoho is giving the Republican establishment the cover they desperately crave because they know America is onto this.
Weve been played for fools before, she said.
Ingraham asked Yoho if Boehner has pledged to replace the continuing resolution when it expires with a proposal by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., which would take advantage of Congress ability to block funding of Obamas immigration action.
Yoho didnt give a direct answer.
We havent gone that far, he said. What were dealing with is crisis management up here, over and over again. [Work authorizations] are self-funding through the fees and things like that they collect. We cant shut off funds until we get into appropriations process and rewrite those bills.
Ingraham argued the Congressional Research Service reported that last years omnibus spending bill included 16 funding restrictions on fee-based programs.
So you can cut off the money to the fee-based programs. We did it last year. So Boehner is trying to cook up, Well, we cant do this because its funded. Oh bull! He doesnt want to do it because he wants this immigration amnesty because the Chamber of Commerce wants it, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce wants it and every big fat-cat donor of the Republican Party wants it, the talk host said.
That is the t***h, and if more Republicans had the guts to say that on Capitol Hill, you wouldnt win by one percentage point, which you won by last time, or the first time, youd win by 20 points or you wouldnt be challenged like Jeff Sessions, said Ingraham.
She further asked why Senate Majority Leader Reid, a Democrat, supports Yohos bill.
Uhh
I dont know if he will, Yoho replied.
Ingraham said: He does!
He is supporting [Boehner's plan].
Ingraham, noting Yoho has been critical of Boehner in the past, asked why the House leader should be trusted now.
Its not a matter of trust, he said.
Ingraham interrupted: Yes it is! Absolutely!
She insisted its a matter of trust because in the end, Boehner really wants what Jeb Bush really wants, which is comprehensive immigration reform, which is concurrent amnesty with bogus promise of enforcement.
