Boehner: I didn’t want “interference” from White House in Netanyahu speech http://t.co/G1ef6XFavY

— Talking Points Memo (@TPM) February 15, 2015

“I have not. The fact is that we had every right to do what we did,” Boehner responded. “I wanted the prime minister to come here. There’s a serious threat facing the world. And radical Islamic terrorists are not going to go away.”

Wallace then pointed out that Boehner asked Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., not to tell the White House about the joint meeting with Netanyahu.

“Why would you do that?” Wallace asked.

“Because I wanted to make sure that there was no interference. There’s no secret here in Washington about the animosity that this White House has for Prime Minister Netanyahu. I frankly didn’t want that getting in the way, quashing what I thought was a real opportunity,” Boehner responded.

If ever there was a good reason for Democrats to avoid this speech like the plague, Boehner has just given it to them. This is a Speaker’s temper tantrum over the State of the Union Address.
