After Republicans won back the House of Representatives during the 2010 midterms, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) was elevated to Speaker of the House.

One of his biggest moves was putting a moratorium on earmarks, the process by which individual members could insert discretionary spending into appropriation bills.

Republican former U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appeared on Fox News Friday night to attack former Speaker of the House John Boehner, who calls her a "lunatic" in his new book.

Bachmann, a far right religious extremist who retired from Congress amid ethics investigations told Fox News viewers, "for people like us, we're considered the lunatics. I mean, think of how lacking in self awareness do you have to be to call Fox viewers 'lunatics' because that's really what they're doing."

To even the most casual observer, there was little reason to doubt that conservative pundit and co-host of "The View," Meghan McCain, voted for Joe Biden in the last election. For nearly two years, the daughter of former Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain made clear that she was no fan of Donald Trump, who frequently attacked her father, even after his death, and frequently suggested that she supported Biden, a longtime Senate colleague of her father's. According to McCain's husband, however, she did not vote for Biden.

In a tweet last month, Federalist publisher, and husband of McCain, Ben Domenech revealed that "My wife didn't vote for Joe Biden." The revelation came as part of a response to a Federalist article he shared decrying alleged bias in the media's coverage of the border crisis under President Biden. Domenech, quoting a line from the article about a migrant girl who drowned in the Rio Grande, opined to Biden voters: "This is what you voted for."
