Dems: Boehner, Who Criticized Obama Olympics Bid, Took World Tour In August


Dems are pushing back on John Boehner for criticizing Obama’s plan to travel to Coopenhagen in a bid for the Olympics, pointing out that the House GOP leader took a two-week trip abroad in August.

Boehner joined a chorus of Republicans the other day calling on Obama to scrap the trip, claiming he should focus his attention on “the problems we have here at home.”

But Dems counter that Boehner went to Mongolia as part of an August trip around the world, and point to a report claiming Boehner didn’t hold any traditional health care town-halls this summer.

“It’s the height of hypocrisy for Boehner to criticize President Obama for his brief overseas trip to support the United States’ 2016 bid, when Boehner took a two week trip around the world while refusing to hold a single health care event the entire month of August,” DCCC spokesman Ryan Rudominer emails.


Boehner’s office counters that he did attend a tea-party style event attended by thousands in September, and referred me for comment to Don Seymour, a spokesman for Boehner’s PAC, the Freedom Project.

“It figures that Democrats wouldn’t remember Boehner answering questions in front of 18,000 of his hometown constituents,” Seymour said. “They were too busy dismissing voters concerned about their government health care takeover as ‘un-American’.”
