Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) repeated failures to secure enough votes from his own party to win the House Speakership has culminated in a trove of hilarious memes, with internet users from both sides of the political divide mocking him mercilessly as he refuses to read the writing on the wall and bow out gracefully.

The vote for House Speaker is currently on its 9th ballot as of this writing, with McCarthy showing no indication he plans to drop his bid. Meanwhile, the House Freedom Caucus is holding firm they want anyone but McCarthy, unless he concedes to their demands – meaning there will be more memes to come.

Here are some of the most hilarious memes brutally savaging McCarthy:
