Speaker Boehner, Get Your House in Order

The Republican Congress certainly has had a bumpy first two months on the job. And now that Congressman Aaron Schock (R-Downton Abbey) has revealed he’s uncertain as to whether his reported lavish spending of taxpayer dollars actually broke the law, it’s even more evident that Speaker John Boehner is unable to control the members of his own caucus. Speaker Boehner needs to immediately speak out to ensure accountability from Congressman Schock.

This provides yet another test as to whether Speaker Boehner has any control over his caucus—a test which he has repeatedly failed.

“Congressman Schock’s utter uncertainty as to the legality of his actions is shocking,” said Matt Thornton, DCCC Communications Director. “As a member of Congress, it is Congressman Schock’s responsibility to understand and write the laws of our country, not to be uncertain if he broke them. It’s time for Speaker Boehner to step up and take control of his Republican caucus.”
