What a disaster of a person and a horribly corrupt politician.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Conservative influencer Nick Adams didn\u2019t hold back with his poor opinion of Boehner\u2019s display. He wrote, &#8220;John Boehner crying at Speaker Pelosi&#8217;s ceremony is truly one of the most despicable and lowly things I have witnessed in my entire life. John Boehner is not a man. He is a beta feminist loser who most likely drinks soy lattes and avoids Hooters at all costs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RedState writer Bonchie argued that &#8220;Boehner is a perfect example of why Republicans can\u2019t stand Washington,&#8221; adding, &#8220;There are no stakes for the elites. The terrible policies, the support for abortion until birth, the harm caused. None of it matters.
