Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
"Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point" is an article by the satirical website ClickHole, which was published in February 2018. The article, describing a hated coworker making a logical argument during a political debate, is an Internet meme used to reference otherwise disliked figures making a statement the writer agrees with.

The article is illustrated with a stock photo of Josep Maria García. The picture was taken in 2014 during a work trip to Barcelona, during which García was helping his photographer brother-in-law to set up the lighting for a photoshoot. The Guardian compared García to András Arató, who also unintentionally became the subject of an Internet meme in Hide the Pain Harold. 

Slate journalist Cameron Wilson tried to find Josep Maria García in 2021 by emailing Clickhole, without getting a response. Twitter user @iamtherog had found that the image was owned by Getty Images, but the image was already removed from their site at that time. An Indian medical website contained the image, still including the Exif data with the GPS coordinates and the name of the photographer.

The image, separate from the article and headline, has been used as a meme with the same meaning.

In popular culture 
The meme has been referenced in regard to Donald Trump, David Portnoy, Mo Brooks, Neil Gorsuch, Matt Gaetz, and Lauren Boebert. While referencing the meme, writers at Mic and Vulture called the article "absolutely iconic" and "one of the best articles to ever grace the internet", respectively.
