Former House Speaker John Boehner launched a verbal attack against Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, calling him “Lucifer in the flesh” and a “miserable son of a bitch.” Boehner was speaking during a forum at Stanford University. The comments were recorded by journalists from the campus paper, The Stanford Daily. This clip begins with Stanford history professor David Kennedy.

John Boehner: “Lucifer in the flesh. In Washington, I have many Democrat friends, and I have Republican friends. I get along with almost everybody. But I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
