According to Tucker Carlson, former House Speaker John Boehner is “disgusting” for being a “marijuana lobbyist.”
In an interview this past weekend, Carlson, a Fox news host, said that Boehner’s transition from Congress to making money with marijuana is disgusting.
Carlson said, “John Boehner is like a marijuana lobbyist now, right? Waking up every morning taking a paycheck getting your kids to smoke more weed? Why isn’t John Boehner considered disgusting? I consider John Boehner disgusting. Why don’t most Republicans think that? You go from being Speaker of the House to being a weed lobbyist and nobody says anything? Like, that’s totally normal?”
“Really John Boehner—are you making America better, pig? No, you’re not,” Carlson said on Breitbart’s SiriusXM radio show. “You’re making it much, much worse. Ask anyone with teenage children what John Boehner’s doing for America. I’m serious—it’s disgusting.”
It should be noted that Boehner is not technically a marijuana lobbyist. He is a Board member of Acreage Holdings, which runs a chain of cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensing businesses in several U.S. states.
