Boehner Scolds Reporter For Asking 'Stupid Question' on Amtrak Funding

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday dismissed a reporter's question about Amtrak funding as authorities continued investigating the Tuesday derailment that killed eight people near Philadelphia. “Are you really going to ask such a stupid question?” Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said, cutting off the reporter mid- question during a briefing at the U.S. Capitol. “They started this yesterday, it's all about funding, it's all about funding.” “The train was going twice the speed limit,” Boehner said. It is “hard for me to imagine that people take the bait on some of the nonsense that gets spewed around here.” Click here to buy Learn WordPress Today ... Easy Video Training!
