[Mr Rogers]

You guys are too tough on him. As an adult, I’ve cried. When my Mom died. For 5 minutes.

I am truly sorry to hear of your grief.
In context, the exhibition of Mr. Boehner is not attached to grief or a personal loss of a loved one. It is about campaign funding and reelection. This is strictly the business of governance. Sharp elbows and a thick skin are required in the arena of public service. The fiduciary duties of the elected get overlooked when they deflect to emotion. Unfortunately we are all human, and give our public servants a pass when they point out the dead puppies in the ditch.
