Boehner Refuses To Go Along With Fox’s Call To Unseat Pelosi: ‘Let’s Not Get Too Far Down The Road Here’
Fox News has also been aggressively pushing for Pelosi’s resignation. Yesterday morning, Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade tried to get House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) to agree. Boehner, however, shied away:
BOEHNER: I think the ball is in the speaker’s court. I think she needs to come forward, either present evidence or do an apology, and let’s get this behind us. [...]
KILMEADE: If she has none, she should remain Speaker?
BOEHNER: Let’s not — let’s not get too far down the road here. I’m not going to take anything off the table, but I do believe that — that the ball is in her court. And she has to either put up or have an apology and move on.

Last week, for example, Karl Rove said that a public debate about torture serves as a “recruiting tool” for terrorists. Monday, Fox News contributor Dana Perino joined in on the fearmongering, saying that recent congressional debates about torture are producing a “field day” for terrorists:

PERINO: Everyday there’s another step in this story. … Everyday the House of Representatives is having to deal with this issue. But it’s not just the House. They’ve drug everybody into this. But my concern is we’re not giving due interests as to what the terrorists are taking from this. We need to think about the international audience here. I’m sure the terrorists are having a field day.
