We're Cackling At All the Memes About Kevin McCarthy's Removal

McCarthy removed from speakership

McCarthy infamously "earned" his position as Speaker of the House in January, after it took legislators 15 rounds of voting to confirm him — significantly more than it took them to remove him.

As he was unpopular among Democrats and the further-right members of his party from the beginning, his detractors wasted no time in celebrating his removal.

Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump who earned notoriety for her criticisms of her famous family member, measured McCarthy’s time as speaker in “Scaramuccis” — a reference to Anthony Scaramucci, who was employed as the former president’s press secretary for less than two weeks.

But there was a slight error in Trump's math, sparking Scaramucci himself to speak up.

McCarthy was ousted on October 3, also known as Mean Girls Day — a reference to the scene in the iconic movie where the main character asks the boy she has a crush on what day it is. The official account for the Democratic Party marked McCarthy's ousting with a tribute to the film.

But Mean Girls wasn't the only iconic 2000s movie referenced. When McCarthy posted a social media message to those trying to remove him, which simply read "bring it on," stars from the film also chimed in.

Speaking of movies (and McCarthy's January blunder)...

Here are the rest of our favorites.

And one last burn on Matt Gaetz, just for funsies.
