Boehner Defends Netanyahu Invite, Blames DHS Standoff On Senate Democrats

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) still isn’t ruling out the possibility of a shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security.

Boehner said Sunday on Fox News that he was “certainly” willing to let the funding for the Department of Homeland Security lapse, and that Senate Democrats would be to blame if a deal wasn’t reached.

A recent HuffPost/YouGov poll found that Americans thought the invitation was inappropriate, but that many still want their own representative to attend Netanyahu’s speech.
