John Boehner, who served as Speaker of the House, faced a significant political challenge when he was ousted from his position in 2011 by members of the Tea Party faction. This internal conflict within the Republican Party highlighted the growing divide and the influence of more extreme elements within the party, which ultimately led to his resignation.
In Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Boehner's ousting signifies a pivotal moment in Republican politics. It illustrates how party dynamics shifted towards more radical viewpoints, reshaping leadership and the direction of policy-making during an era that would eventually see Donald Trump rise to power.
