Yep, a wine wine loving sob-sister who came around to late with his condemnation of Trump.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boehner

After the January 6 United States Capitol attack, Boehner called on Republicans to "awaken", saying: "The invasion of our Capitol by a mob, incited by lies from some entrusted with power, is a disgrace to all who sacrificed to build our Republic."[90] Boehner later congratulated Biden on his victory after the vote was certified.[90] He has frequently reiterated his feelings, on one account noting how Trump "Incited That Bloody Insurrection",[91] and called Ted Cruz "a reckless asshole who thinks he is smarter than everyone else".[92]

Boehner said that Trump should "consider resigning" and that President Trump had "violated his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."[93] Boehner continued to express his disdain for Trump through 2023, where he stated his belief that the GOP needs to "move on" from Trump during a June interview with CBS News.[94]


All the times John Boehner cried
‘On the House’ brings back the waterworks

If there’s one thing we knew about former Speaker John Boehner, it’s that he likes to cry.

Like, a lot. Tears flowed like a river through his political career in Washington, softening his gruff persona and sweeping up anyone in his path.

He cried with presidents. He cried in front of the pope. Just this week, while promoting his new book, he teared up during an interview with veteran USA Today journalist Susan Page. The trigger? A golf commercial.

Forget the glasses of red wine, the packs of Camels, the bag of golf clubs. Boehner’s real weapon and indulgence of choice was a box of tissues, wielded either strategically or at random, it was never easy to tell.

So, it’s no surprise to find that his nostalgia-soaked memoir, “On the House,” is also wet with tears. The only strange part is how little he does with them.

The book is peak Boehner, complete with a curated list of “Boehnerisms” at the end (“If my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle”) and a slew of contradictions. The same man who sobs into his handkerchief belongs to a men-only golf club and drives around the country on a “no girls allowed” bus.

Boehner said that Trump should "consider resigning" and that President Trump had "violated his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."[93] Boehner continued to express his disdain for Trump through 2023, where he stated his belief that the GOP needs to "move on" from Trump during a June interview with CBS News.[94]
