Did House Speaker John Boehner lie to the American people during a Thursday morning press conference when he denied the existence of a secret spreadsheet scorecard list allegedly involved in his purge of conservatives from House committee leadership positions?

 

Breitbart News’ Kerry Picket asked Boehner on Thursday about the list and why Boehner continually refuses to release it. Boehner responded by denying there was such a list. “There is no such list,” Boehner said in response to Picket.

 

Boehner’s comment directly contradicts what numerous sources, on the record and anonymously, have said for the almost two weeks since the list was allegedly made and the purge was conducted. Nobody had until now publicly denied the existence of the purge list.

 

According to numerous sources – including Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, who’s actually on the House GOP steering committee – a secret scorecard spreadsheet was presented to the steering committee. Breitbart News was the first media outlet to report the list’s existence more than a week ago.
