Most Americans were disgusted by what they saw.
But this video revealed one damning truth about establishment figures like Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi recently attended her official portrait unveiling as one of her final acts as Speaker of the House.
Former GOP House Speaker John Boehner gave a speech at the event.
Boehner, who replaced Pelosi as Speaker in 2011 after voters booted out Democrats in the Tea Party wave, started crying when discussing how Pelosi impacted his daughters.
“You’ve been unfailingly gracious to me, to my family and, frankly, my team here in Washington. And Madam Speaker, I have to say, my girls told me, ‘Tell the Speaker how much we admire her,’” Boehner said while crying.
A great moment.

Boehner attacked Pelosi from 2007 to 2010, warning that Democrats were pushing a dangerous and radical agenda in an effort to dislodge her from power.
But now that same John Boehner is crying at Pelosi’s portrait unveiling.
This only shows the reality of Washington, D.C., where establishment figures in both parties pretend to disagree on the issues when they really all see themselves as part of the same elite club.
Republicans ripped Boehner for crying over Pelosi, pointing out that this type of behavior is why conservatives continue to lose ground to Democrats.
“Boehner is a perfect example of why Republicans can’t stand Washington. There are no stakes for the elites. The terrible policies, the support for abortion until birth, the harm caused. None of it matters. It’s just one big cocktail club where they all cry for each other,” RedState writer Bonchie stated.
Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro slammed Boehner as the epitome of GOP establishment weakness.
“Boehner crying in tribute to Pelosi while talking about how his daughters are Democrats is a pretty good summation of Republican leadership over the past couple of decades,” Shapiro declared.
“Seriously, try to imagine Nancy Pelosi crying over a John Boehner portrait while announcing to chuckles that her kids are Republicans. You can’t. That’s because many of those elected to represent conservatism can’t even do so in house,” Shapiro added.
