Speaker Boehner’s Congress Continues To Crumble

Congressman Aaron Schock just announced his resignation amid a growing ethics scandal, making him the second resignation in just the first 100 days of the 114th Congress. In addition, several longtime Republican members in competitive districts have announced their plans to retire.

“Speaker Boehner’s Republican Congress continues its epic implosion,” said DCCC Communications Director Matt Thornton. “Fewer than 100 days in, Speaker Boehner has already seen his Speakership challenged, his caucus defiantly reject him time and again, some of his closest colleagues retire rather than watch their reputations dragged down by the gridlock and dysfunction, and now the second member of his caucus has resigned amid ethics scandal. Speaker Boehner’s Republican caucus is more like Animal House, and the American people deserve better.”
