Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) released a video Tuesday showing him holding a wind-up monkey that bounces around and claps cymbals together.
In a video titled "The Monkey in the Room," Boehner compares himself to the monkey.
"This sits in my office on my coffee table because this is me," he says.
Boehner explains the monkey was a gift from his staff. "Every 15, 30 minutes, they come in and wind me up, and I do my thing."
