Boehner lied. He said the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act of 2011 was passed with “bipartisan support.” His tone of voice making it sound like it had significant “bipartisan support.” Only 5 Democrats voted for that bill:

House Vote On Passage: H.R. 2560: Cut, Cap, and Balance Act of 2011

Totals: Democrats/Republicans/Independents
Aye: 234 (54%) 5/229/0
No: 190 (44%) 181/9/0

The vote was almost entirely based on party lines.

Hardly bipartisan.

I’ll give him 3 Pinocchios.
