"Outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the prospect of being ousted from his leadership position was not a factor in his decision to step down during an interview on Sunday in which he blasted "false prophets" in the Republican Party.
“Look, winning that vote was never an issue,” Boehner said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “I was going to get the overwhelming number of – I would have gotten 400 votes, probably.”
The Speaker said stepping down was in the best interest of his colleagues in the House, who would be forced to vote whether to retain him.
Boehner also called the right wing of the House GOP “unrealistic” in their expectation to pass conservative legislation in a divided government.
“Absolutely, they’re unrealistic!” he exclaimed. “The Bible says beware of false prophets, and there are people out there spreading noise about how much can get done. This whole notion that we’re going to shut down the government to get rid of ObamaCare in 2013, that plan never had a chance.”
