Former House Speaker and current Republican California Representative Kevin McCarthy announced earlier this week that he would be leaving Congress by the end of December — after resolutely insisting that "I never quit" after his ouster from the position of House Speaker in October.

This seemingly abrupt about-face from McCarthy has led to a significant amount of ridicule both online and in the news and X, formerly Twitter, users added to the pile-on in one of the pettiest ways possible: with a fact check courtesy of an X Community Note.

The rest of the community was loving the shade and got in on the mockery.



Others called out more of McCarthy's hypocrisy and broken promises:




McCarthy has certainly talked a big game in the past, but apparently, he can't actually handle the heat.

Before he was removed as House Speaker, he tweeted "Bring it on," seemingly egging on his fellow Republicans to come at him.

Now that they've called his bluff, he decided to quit completely. And even members of the House are getting in on the mockery.

Florida Representative Matt Gaetz felt the need to criticize McCarthy after his resignation announcement.

California Representative Robert Garcia had some thoughts too:

McCarthy's House term would not have ended until 2025, but he chose a very early resignation from Congress instead.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
