Former Speaker John Boehner has been drinking red wine and smoking cigarettes while recording the audio version of his memoir.
"John Boehner has been going off script while recording the audio version of his new memoir, using expletives and asides not in the book — such as the former Republican House speaker saying, 'Oh, and Ted Cruz, go f*ck yourself,'" Axios reports.
