Stephen Colbert: John Boehner resigns, Take this job and shove it

“Garbage men get used ot the smell of bad garbage, prisoners learn how to become prisoners, all right,” Speaker John Boehner on what he is leaving behind.

Stephen Colbert: John Boehner resigns, Take this job and shove itSo, Speaker John Boehner – who I have not really said anything very bad about in all his time as Speaker – is telling us some Republicans in congress smell like bad garbage.  So who does he mean exactly?

IT’S TED CRUZ!  If you have been following this story on the various news outlets you will have heard that there is someone along with some Republican whackobirds – not my words – who are running the GOP brand so far into the ground they will never be able to win the White House ever again, but are never mentioned by name. Though rest assured when they are talking about CONGRESS it is Senator Ted Cruz and in the HOUSE 37 names are less well known which need naming. Here you go.

Specifically in the House they are those who have worked behind the scenes to get rid of John Boehner, have voted against publicly and are all members of the recently formed Freedom Caucus.

The founders of the Freedom Caucus who are described as right-wing “bad garbage” – not my words mind you – are Republican Representatives:

Scott Garrett of New Jersey
Jim Jordan of Ohio
John Fleming of Louisiana
Matt Salmon of Arizona
Justin Amash of Michigan
Raúl Labrador of Idaho
Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina
Ron DeSantis of Florida
Mark Meadows of North Carolina

The Freedom Caucus is the power behind ridding the House of Boehner and trying to force a government shutdown over Planned Parenthood. You might expect them all to be a bunch of recently elected Tea Party males, but they do have one recently elected Tea Party woman from Wyoming on their team.

Here is the entire list of the 37 names of the Right-wing whackobirds – not my term – that the RNC refuses to name:

Jim Jordan of Ohio, Chair
Justin Amash of Michigan
Brian Babin of Texas
Rod Blum of Iowa
Dave Brat of Virginia
Jim Bridenstine of Oklahoma
Mo Brooks of Alabama
Ken Buck of Colorado
Curt Clawson of Florida

Scott Desjarlais of Tennessee
Jeff Duncan of South Carolina
John Fleming of Louisiana
