McConnell Praises Outgoing Speaker Boehner

Outside The Beltway

Kentucky’s senior senator is praising outgoing House Speaker John Boehner.

Republican Mitch McConnell says the Ohio congressman who retires Friday (October 30) after 25 years in the House of Representatives will be a tough act to follow.

“I think he’s done an outstanding job, not only for our party, but for our country, and I think the way in which he has handled his leaving the congress has been a class act.”                   

McConnell was asked about his working relationship with Boehner during a press conference in Washington. McConnell is the Senate’s Majority Leader.
