BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – 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. “9 hours without water or food, but I’m more energized than ever to get this done. Tomorrow I will go on a hunger strike, which means I will skip dessert after eating dinner, and have only one pastry for breakfast the following day, instead of two.”
