Watch: Far Right ‘Values’ Conference Erupts In Applause As Rubio Announces Boehner Resignation
The Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit reacts explosively with joy upon learning John Boehner is stepping down as Speaker of the House.
The Family Research Council is a certified anti-gay hate group, yet every year top Republican politicians attend its Values Voter Summit to prove their far right wing bonafides.Â
This morning, just as the three-day conference was getting underway, Sen. Marco Rubio, once hailed as a Tea Party member, announced that John Boehner is stepping down as Speaker of the House.
The crowd stood, applauded, and screamed with glee, demonstrating the sheer hatred they have for the Ohio Congressman who often stood in between their extremist agenda and preserving the workings of Congress.
