Former House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who is currently hawking his new memoir, revealed to Time magazine that he voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Boehner has received largely favorable coverage for his books scathing rebukes of some Republicans including his characterization of the then-president inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, which Boehner wrote was perpetuated by the bullshit hed been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.

However, Boehner told Time in an interview published Tuesday that he supported Trumps reelection.

I voted for Donald Trump. I thought that his policies, by and large, mirrored the policies that I believed in, Boehner said.

I thought the choices for the Supreme Court were top notch. At the end of the day, who gets nominated to the federal courts is really the most important thing a president does, he added.
