‘This is Armageddon’: Pelosi trashes GOP tax bill

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said the GOP tax bill was “Armageddon” Monday night while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill.

The congresswoman was responding to a question about whether it was appropriate to refer to Republican legislation in such apocalyptic terms.

“It is the end of the world,” Pelosi. “The debate on health care is life/death. This is Armageddon.”

Pelosi went on to argue that the bill — which passed in the early hours of Saturday morning — impacts the middle class in a way that will be hard to mitigate.

“This is a very big deal. You know why? There is really a very hard way to come back from this,” she said.
