John Boehner Has a Message for the Tea Party That Will Likely Astonish Some Members

The Blaze reports:

In a wide-ranging interview that aired Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner made a claim that’s likely to astonish many members of the Tea Party.

“I was the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party,” Boehner said, responding to a question from Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier about whether he could keep the GOP united.

“I understand their concerns, I understand their frustrations,” the speaker continued. “But we have a Constitution that we abide by and we’re going to live by it. And that means we have separate, equal branches of government. And whether people like it or not, Barack Obama is going to be the president for the next two years.”

Enormous conviction!
