Feb 21, 2014: Boehner made the comments about suicide in an April 1996 interview with The Weekly Standard. “I’ll commit suicide before I vote on a clean minimum-wage bill,” Boehner, then the head of the House Republican Conference, said at the time. Four months later, President Clinton over Boehner’s objections signed a minimum wage hike into law that lifted the wage by 90 cents, from $4.25 per hour to $5.15. It wasn’t a clean wage hike because it included some Republican sweeteners such as tax breaks aimed at small businesses. The bill passed the Senate, 76-22 and cleared the House, 354-72. Boehner voted no. (SOURCE: Molly K. Hooper and Bob Cusack: The Hill: "Boehner: Suicide over minimum wage hike")
