Former House Speaker John Boehner on new memoir and future of Republican Party

Former House Speaker John Boehner joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his new book, "On the House: A Washington Memoir." In it, he discusses the lawmakers he calls "political terrorists," and the future of the Republican Party.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

These Republican leaders...it’s so amazing how honest and courageous they are when they retired.

[dlwpb]

Typical career politician. Makes money off one ideology and then switches it up and makes more money off another ideology. And they do all this, keeping a straight face, while acting like they sincerely care about the people. it's laughable at worst and enraging at best

[lostfan]

I wish Boehner had come out this strongly when he was speaker.

[nkaujhouathao]

He didn't speak out or do anything while he was speaker of house....but now decides to write a book and profit of it. coward.

[bigtex]

This guy is telling the honest truth, so watch the Republicans do their best to cancel him. Any member of the GOP with the guts to tell it like it is becomes a pariah.

[arikarik]

A true coward. Once he's safe and out of office suddenly grew a pair of balls to call out his friends and former allies. You should be remembered as one.

I hope that justice will be achieved in the case of Jamal Khashoggi and the Yemen war crimes

[jimarmstrong]

The courage to speak up is only valuable when it has the power to be a counter force, not years after the fact... Lacking courage on the battle field vs courage in your favorite chair.

He looks like the male version of Ellen.

[Grandizer]

He is the architect of MAGA and paved the way for the GQP

[ianw]

This guy is why so many people left the Republican Party.

[esterabec]

I used to respect you Mr. Boehner not anymore. More then half the country is against you.

[Tawny]

Much of what he saying is right on the mark, but hindsight is a wonderful thing and my problem is that he stood back and let it happen! Why didn’t you fight it John?

[mr.s]

I remember back in the early 2010s all I'd hear about in politics was John Boehner and Anthony Wiener and I just thought it was the funniest thing.

[adamjam]

Now it makes sense why he is flapping his gums he is pimping his book

[misslillie]

I like what he said you can disagree without being disagreeable.

[janiekcarney]

I never buy this kind of book. I don’t want to reward these people who have little to say or contribute.

[AndyRiesgos]

Damn. The time off has been good to him. Those eyes 😳🥵😫

[davidswift]

He shouldn’t minimize his opinions, he made some very solid profound comments 👍

[briansteen]

When people of principal decided to cry instead of fight.
