Glenn Beck said that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “should be ashamed” of himself, after he heard that the House Ethics Committee put the kibosh on members of Congress attending Beck’s “Restoring Courage” rally in Israel next week.Beck was talking to Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) on his radio show, which was being broadcast from Israel. Walsh, a Tea Party aligned Congressman who voted against raising the debt ceiling, told Beck that he would have liked to attend the rally, but the House Ethics Committee said that since it “had the appearance of a political event,” it “is not something the congressman should attend in office capacity based on a conflict of interest for him as a member.”
