A group of tea party activists plan to hold a rally outside House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) office Tuesday, threatening to rebrand President Barack Obama’s signature health care law as “BoehnerCare” if the speaker doesn’t join a conservative movement to defund the program.
“If he funds it, he will own it,” Janet Porter, founder of participating group Faith2Action, told the Washington Times.
Boehner has so far been uncommitted to the possibility of shutting down the government if Obamacare isn’t defunded. Conservative radio host Mark Levin said on his radio program last week that “rather than calling it ObamaCare, we should call it BoehnerCare” if the speaker continued with his plan to fund the health care law, according to The Hill.
