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.

We may not all like the same things or be fans of the same celebrities, music, books, or films, but we all understand the anticipatory grief that comes with the fact that our favorite artists are human, just like us, meaning they will age and eventually create their last piece.

Fans of Dolly Parton, for instance, went through a scare last month when her sister shared a cryptic Facebook post about Dolly, only for the country singer to later have to post a video to reassure her fans that she "ain't dead yet" and was healthy.
