Progressive Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, a new member of the "The Squad," faced waves of mockery on Twitter about his "thirst strike" protest lasting less than 10 hours.
"Yesterday was incredible. I was honored to be joined at my thirst strike by workers in Texas and across the nation - and by lots of colleagues pushing for federal heat safety protections," the congressman tweeted Wednesday. "9 hours without water or food, but I’m more energized than ever to get this done."
Many commentators across Twitter saw the demonstration as far less of an achievement, with some claiming the premise of his protest was not even accurate in the first place.
"Democrat Greg Casar went 8 hours without eating or drinking something. To normal Americans, that's just skipping breakfast or lunch at work," Canary CEO Dan K. Eberhart tweeted. "To him, it's a hunger strike that he set up media cameras for once it was over. What a pathetic stunt."
"He staged an 8-hour hunger and thirst strike?" American Tribune founder Jason Robertson wrote. "Today he will follow up with Skipping Breakfast for Climate Change!"
"What an absolute joke," the official account representing MRCTV wrote. "Not eating or drinking for 8 hours is just called forgetting to have lunch while at work."
Many commentators joked that already go through similar durations without drinking as part of their daily routine, such as when they sleep.
"I go on a thirst strike literally every night at bedtime," BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales tweeted. "Please clap."

Immature children. You can go without food for weeks, months, perhaps even longer if you are obese.
Water is another matter altogether.
Go Greg, Take the challenge to the limit, see if you can do 10 days.
The comments are pure gold
Greg will probably say he fasts between breakfast and lunch to save the planet.
They should erect a statue to him or something.
Maybe Jerry Nadler could join him in that fast.
Should have went for 3 or more days. 😬
A regular Bobby Sands level of dedication…
Audie Murphy eat your heart out!…
He should have at least took that first post-fast drink out of one of the ‘border toilets’ that AOC claimed Trump was forcing illegal aliens to drink out of.
It’s called “Ramadan”.
I thought it was the Bee. It was real?
I think the workers in Texas can drink all the water they want. And they get a lunch break.
Jesus is saying,”Bro, only 39 days 16 hours to go. Just do it!”
Yikes, many of us might fast for 10
hours or so before doing “blood work”
(medical tests at a clinic). It’s
no big deal!
Virtue signaling twit.
Portrait of a real jerk, joining up with other such idiots. A waste of a salary. See what more illegals voting have wrought.
