“Just start apologizing and crying. No play it cool,” goes the advice from the 2004 film “Mean Girls.”
Democratic Representative Sara Jacobs posted the humorous tip on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after noon on Tuesday. The House was expected to vote in the afternoon.
“Some advice for Kevin McCarthy on #MeanGirlsDay,” Jacobs’ tweet said. It included a split-screen image of Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan, who played Regina George and Cady Heron in the teen comedy. A caption appeared in white text at the bottom of the image that read: “Just start apologizing and crying. No play it cool.”
Tuesday also marked the first time since 1910 that a House speaker faced a vote on removal.
