The Hill: Sanders: Boehner was 'unable to control' GOP

Sanders: Boehner was 'unable to control' GOP

"It appears that even a very conservative speaker like John Boehner is unable to control the extreme right-wing drift of Republicans in the House," Sanders, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, said in a statement.

He added that Republicans are "way out of touch with the American people" and that "without Boehner, it may get even worse."

Sanders said during an interview with "The Thom Hartmann Program" that he is not "somebody intimately involved with Republican politics, but my guess is that he probably ran out of energy in terms of taking on the very extreme right wingers."
