When Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told an audience of conservatives at the Values Voter Summit on Friday that House Speaker John Boehner plans to resign, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

"And we'll see how things progress. Just a few minutes ago, Speaker Boehner announced he that he will be resigning," Rubio said.

The raucous crowd continued celebrating for a good 30 seconds.
