On January 26, the House Minority Leader doubled down her criticism on the GOP tax cut. She described the employee bonuses as merely “pennies.”
Pretty obnoxious the GOP thinks workers should be weak-kneed with gratitude for corporations giving them pennies while pocketing a multi-billion dollar tax break stolen from the future of the middle class. #GOPTaxScam pic.twitter.com/ulLIexUf4q

Pelosi’s spokesman says Pence is boasting a tax hike on middle class families
On Wednesday night, Drew Hammill, the spokesman for Pelosi, countered Pence. According to him, the Vice President misquoted the House Minority Leader. He said the primary beneficiaries of the GOP tax cut are big corporations and the wealthy.
Hammill said, Quoting Leader Pelosi out of context doesn’t change the fact that 83 percent of the benefit under the GOP Tax Scam goes to the wealthiest and massive corporations.”
“While hundreds of billions flow to corporate America on the backs of the hard-working families, the vice president is proudly touting a tax hike on 86 million middle class families,” added Hammill.
