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."

More from the party of fight, protest, march, burn, rebel, strike, destroy. Is anyone asking what the bell is wrong with these people?

What exactly do they mean by “federal heat protections?”

Are they talking climate change lockdowns?

The Bravery Of This Man Is Breathtaking

Matt Walsh's take; gold.

Back in the day, we were told an otherwise healthy human can go for 40 days without food, before starvation sets in. Three days without water depending on the outside climate and required physical exertion.

Dunno what they say these days. Back then they also told us to slice open a snake bite wound and suck out the poison. I guess some people were inadvertently opening arteries, cause "slicing and dicing" is not longer recommended.

Three minutes without air, three days without water and three weeks without food.
