Representatives like
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York,
Susie Lee of Nevada and
Jasmine Crockett of Texas were featured in the now-viral footage. Each struck a
Mortal Kombat-style fighting pose as text listed three facts about them.
Cortez listed her job and accomplishments and noted that she's a
Star Trek fan
. Lee listed her accolades while also revealing she has two sprained fingers. Crockett revealed she's not a morning person.

The 20-second video received a bevy of responses.
"This is when you KNOW the Democratic party has completely lost their way along with their minds. THIS is their idea of fighting for everyday hardworking
Americans," one person wrote in the comments section.
"Just when you think the Democrats couldn't be more embarrassing, they go out and prove us wrong. This is ridiculous," a second chimed in.
"Democrats try not to be cringe challenge," a third person wrote.

On Thursday, March 6, President
Donald Trump and members of his team mocked the Democrats' TikTok with a video of their own. (Watch it
on X.)
"Hey @HouseDemocrats, we fixed this for you! America Chose Its Fighters Last November," the official White House account captioned the clip of the commander-in-chief, Vice President
J.D. Vance and fellow Trump staffers trolling the democrats.

The right-wing version of the video also featured Security Secretary
Kristi Noem on horseback, Border Czar
Tom Homan exiting a helicopter and Attorney General
Pam Bondi conducting a press conference.
Representative
Marjorie Taylor Greene commented on the clip, "Deranged Democrats release 'choose your fighter skit' after refusing to stand and clap for a child with cancer during President Trump's address to congress."

"Democrats have sunk so low that I'm actually starting to feel sorry for them. Pitiful," Marjorie Taylor Greene continued.
House Speaker
Mike Johnson, meanwhile, shared his take on the video during an appearance on Fox News: "We don't do dance videos," he said. "That is so cringeworthy. To Democrats now, politics is a performance art, it's like a performative art, but if that's the performance please continue to do that because as the leading campaigner for House Republicans, I'd like to see more of that from them, that's fantastic."
