It's fine for him to denounce racism and xenophobia, but the "principles" he adhers to, and his positive opinion of George W. Bush and Newt Gingrich and his vote for Donald Trump, only serve to make way for the extremism he denounces. Neo-liberalism must be dethroned. Boehner needs to renounce his statements to the effect that "raising taxes on those you expect to hire more people" does not work. He says he could work with Biden, if he were there. I wonder if he could, since he would have to support raising taxes and government spending. We can only speculate what he would do. But as he says, in his position he had to lead a right-wing Party. So it would still be difficult. That said, I always considered Boehner, although he subbornly resisted Obama's mild reforms, was a cut above the extremists in his Party, and basically decent.
