What - Me Worry? Boehner dismisses rumours about revolt within Republican party

House speaker John Boehner on Sunday dismissed reports that conservative rivals are planning to oust him following a deal to avert a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), amidst rumours that he promised a vote on a “clean bill” on the issue next week.

Reports of a coup against Boehner began over the weekend, following a last-minute vote in the House of Representatives which secured just one additional week of DHS funding. Boehner had earlier failed to secure a three-week funding extension following a revolt of more than 50 conservative Republicans, who argued the move was a concession to the White House in the battle over Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

Speaking to CBS on Sunday, Boehner argued that dissent within the party was only over tactics, adding that he was still committed to fighting Obama’s executive action, which will defer deportation for more than 5 million undocumented immigrants in the US.

“We do have some members who disagree from time to time over the tactics we decide to employ,” Boehner said. “Remember, Republicans are united behind the idea that the president has far exceeded his constitutional authority and we all want to do things to stop the president from his illicit activities.”

and soliciting support from the wacko fringe in the US for votes, their main base.
