With Boehner vanquished, U.S. conservatives turn on McConnell

[Zorro]

Some of the U.S. Congress's staunchest conservative Republicans celebrated House Speaker John Boehner's resignation on Friday and trained their sights on a new target: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

In a display of intense infighting of the sort that has consumed the party for months, Republican presidential candidate and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas told a crowd of applauding conservative activists at the Value Voters Summit in Washington:

"You want to know how much each of you terrify Washington? Yesterday, John Boehner was speaker of the House. Y'all come to town and somehow that changes. My only request is, can you come more often?"

When another Republican presidential hopeful, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, interrupted his speech at the event to relay the news that Boehner was leaving, raucous cheers broke out.
