peter king will now support boehner......

just reported on m$nbc.....

boehner just promised to bring it up in congress on friday.

s.e. cupp is trying to defend the republicans for not giving the aid....as only she can


EDIT:

A $51 Billion Sandy relief package is coming on January 15th, according to Rep. Peter King of New York and Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey.

King had vociferously blasted Boehner last night and earlier today after a bill to provide aide for Sandy victims was unexpectedly pulled.

A $9 billion package will come on Friday to extend the flood insurance benefits to make sure that people will survive until the full package comes through.

The group was resigned to the fact that the full $61 billion Senate bill will not see a vote today. Still Rep. King backed up Speaker Boehner and Leader Eric Cantor and insisted he'd vote for them in leadership positions, as did Rep. Michael Grimm. Grimm had earlier implied that he would not vote for Speaker Boehner.
