'Lucifer in the Flesh'

Former House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday evening called Republican Sen. Ted Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh," a reflection of just how much the Cruz is disliked by many of his colleagues on Capitol Hill.

In a talk at Stanford University on Wednesday evening, Boehner was asked about his views on the presidential candidates.

"Lucifer in the flesh," the former speaker said about Cruz to laughter, according to the Stanford Daily, the university's newspaper.
