One of President Joe Biden's most urgent actions upon first taking the White House was to pass a new relief package in the face of the pandemic that's killed nearly 600 thousand Americans, left millions suddenly unemployed, and upended daily life in the United States for more than a year.

In addition to $1400 stimulus checks to most Americans, the American Rescue Plan preserved expanded unemployment benefits, slashed child poverty rates, bolstered vaccine distribution initiatives, and offered a slew of additional lifelines to Americans hardest hit by the pandemic.


Republicans repeatedly slammed the bill for being too expensive, slamming it as a "liberal wish list."

House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said of the plan at the time:

"This bill won't speed up our return to normal — it will only increase financial risks and burden future generations with unnecessary debt. I urge all my colleagues to vote against it."

The bill didn't receive a single Republican vote.

Now, nearly two months after the bill's passage, some Republican lawmakers have begun hailing certain provisions of the plan, leaping to associate themselves with its benefits.

McCarthy was among these Republicans, informing his constituents about the SBA Restaurant Revitalization Fund, designed to cover losses in revenue for restaurants the pandemic forced to shut down.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) didn't hesitate to point out that McCarthy—along with every other Republican lawmaker—voted against the popular legislation.

Social media users cackled at the masterful trolling.





She wasn't the only one to call out McCarthy.




McCarthy hasn't responded.

GOP Commentator Ripped After Claiming Trump Is 'Standing Up' For 'Jewish Kids' With Harvard Funding Freeze

GOP strategist and CNN commentator Scott Jennings was criticized for hypocrisy by fellow panelist Jay Michaelson after claiming that President Donald Trump is "standing up" for Jewish students and combating antisemitism in ordering a funding freeze for Harvard University.

Since returning to office, Trump has made reshaping higher education a priority, threatening to pull federal research funding unless universities fall in line. His administration’s new rules—set to take effect by August 2025—target everything from DEI programs to international student admissions, while demanding “viewpoint” diversity and threatening to shut down noncompliant departments.

Nature is truly amazing.

When a 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday, humans braced themselves with the grade school-taught drill to "drop, cover, and hold on."
