The image wished past U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump a happy President's Day -- but in the middle of the image was a picture of Biden with a mask on with the caption, "Not You."

But in the comment thread beneath the tweet, critics of the GOP thought the tweet was childish.
What a humiliating self-own. Delete your account.— Katie S. Phang (@Katie S. Phang) 1645460462

Every time I think @GOP can't get more childish, petty, and ridiculous, damn if they don't go and prove me wrong.https://twitter.com/GOP/status/1495750407888510985\u00a0\u2026— David Gorski, MD, PhD (@David Gorski, MD, PhD) 1645458726
Every day, the @GOP does or says something to make me feel really good about my decision two years ago to leave the Republican Party. Every single day.https://twitter.com/gop/status/1495750407888510985\u00a0\u2026— Joe Walsh (@Joe Walsh) 1645457765
The best part is you had to pick 8 of the best Republican presidents and you picked two who were impeached and two who were one term.— Tony Posnanski (@Tony Posnanski) 1645457509
This is mostly juvenile and vulgar. But we are on the verge of war in Europe. It would be good if elected Republicans, GOP candidates, those who've served in Republican administrations--made it clear @GOP does not speak for what remains of a decent and patriotic Republican Party.https://twitter.com/GOP/status/1495750407888510985\u00a0\u2026— Bill Kristol (@Bill Kristol) 1645457024
Always keepin it classy, that @GOP.\n\nBesides, if Abraham Lincoln were alive today they\u2019d have censured him and called him a RINO.pic.twitter.com/QTSTP8c67j— Jo (@Jo) 1645455041
Abe Lincoln must be turning in his grave seeing what happened to the GOP.— Republicans against Trumpism (@Republicans against Trumpism) 1645452817
The @GOP has become a cesspool of grifting miscreants\u2026 classless, bitter, & desperate.\n\nTake it to \u201cTruth\u201d Social.\n\n#HappyPresidentsDayhttps://twitter.com/gop/status/1495750407888510985\u00a0\u2026— Jude (@Jude) 1645452782
