Boehner: I ‘Understand’ Occupy Wall Streets’ ‘Frustrations’

House Speaker John Boehner says he understands the frustrations driving the Occupy Wall Street protests.

“I understand people’s frustrations,” Boehner said at an event at the University of Louisville, Politico reports. “The economy is not producing jobs like they want and there’s lot of erosion of confidence in our government and frankly, under the First Amendment, people have the right to speak out … but that doesn’t mean they have the permission to violate the law.”
