Fox News host Sean Hannity hit back at criticism he received from former House Speaker — and fellow Republican — John Boehner, who called Hannity a “right wing idiot” in a Politico interview titled “John Boehner Unchained.”

The ex-GOP congressman unleashed on his old party and their preferred media choices, calling out radio talk show hosts Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Hannity for further polarizing America. Boehner took full advantage of his non-politician status to unleash on conservative media figures who now longer pose a threat to him — suggesting that many of the right-wing heavy weights are idiots.

But in the Fox News’ host pugnacious style, Hannity tweeted the following:

Boehner has often relished his retirement role, after leaving office in 2015, and ostensibly missing numerous battles in a looming GOP Civil War which has pitted the Republican establishment against a more nationalist and nativist side to the party led by President Donald Trump.

John Boehner Blasts ‘Right-Wing Idiot’ Sean Hannity

by Caleb Ecarma | 7:36 pm, October 29th, 2017

Former House speaker John Boehner took full advantage of his non-politician status to unleash on conservative media figures who now longer pose a threat to him — suggesting that many of the right-wing heavy weights are idiots.

In a Politico profile — appropriately titled “John Boehner Unchained” — the ex-GOP congressman unleashed on his old party and their preferred media choices, calling out radio talk show hosts Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh for further polarizing America.

His attack against the three ultra-popular conservative commentators went as follows:

“[Mark Levin] went really crazy right and got a big audience, and he dragged [Sean] Hannity to the dark side. He dragged Rush to the dark side. And these guys—I used to talk to them all the time. And suddenly they’re beating the living shit out of me.” Boehner, seated in his favorite recliner, lights another cigarette. “I had a conversation with Hannity, probably about the beginning of 2015. I called him and said, ‘Listen, you’re nuts.’ We had this really blunt conversation. Things were better for a few months, and then it got back to being the same-old, same-old. Because I wasn’t going to be a right-wing idiot.”

1. Hannity wasn't dragged...

He was happy to lick boots to get to the dark side.

2. Damn Hannity that's pretty low

Yes we all made jokes about it but actually saying this in public (basically) is pretty damn low.

I can't disagree with anything Boehner said in those excerpts

3. I'm OK with Boehner attacking his fellow asswipes

but Boehner is every bit as guilty as they are - he played the same games, said the same shit, and pandered to the same people.

4. Hey Hannity, when you drink the truth comes out.

but I don't have to drink to know you are an idiot.

5. I wonder what they thought of Boehner when he did that great video w/Obama in O's last days..LOL. nt
