A spokeswoman for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s potential 2016 presidential campaign has confirmed a previous Breitbart News article reporting that Speaker John Boehner’s on-staff amnesty advocate Becky Tallent has been in job talks with Bush’s campaign—undercutting a previous on-the-record denial from Boehner communications director Michael Steel.

“Everybody out there listening to this show right now needs to grab a pen and paper or make a mental note to remember this name… Everybody across America needs to know this name: Becky Tallent,” said senior political writer Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot radio channel 125.
