In light of House Republicans’ unwillingness to “raise taxes on millionaires,” MSNBC host Martin Bashir called for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to do “the honorable thing” and resign from Congress.

After summarizing the scandals that brought down former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and former Rep Chris Lee, R-N.Y., Bashir compared Boehner and Cantor unfavorably to Weiner and Lee, whom he described as the “most noble of all [members of Congress], because they chose to resign when they realized how poorly they’d performed.”
