And Nancy Pelosi b*tched, because that’s what she does best.
"The bill Republicans have brought to the floor today is not tax reform, it's not even a tax cut. It is a tax scam," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says https://t.co/tv1Y4gq4Ge pic.twitter.com/evUuTiNsIW

Republicans "are trying to sell a bill of goods to the middle class that this is in their interest, that this is a middle-income tax cut," Rep. Pelosi says https://t.co/tv1Y4gq4Ge pic.twitter.com/eXRd7ARLay

Ryan spoke after the vote too.
“The powers of the status quo in this town are so strong, yet 227 men and women of this Congress broke through that today,” he said.

"We, collectively, asked the country in 2016 to give us a chance to go work for them," Speaker Ryan says, adding that GOP did one of the greatest things “we could possibly do to make good on that promise.” https://t.co/tv1Y4gq4Ge pic.twitter.com/VSyGtPSfbv

It’s not over yet, though. Word has it at least three GOP senators have a problem with the bill. Don’t get too excited. Nothing is official yet.
