I sure hope no Reps sprain their ankles sprinting to the elevators to avoid reporters…oh wait, they’ve got insurance. Proceed, scumsuckers.

“I don’t know about that. That’s a good question,” said Rep. Scott Desjarleis (R-TN).

“I’ll have to read the language more closely,” answered Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA).

“I didn’t know there was [an exemption for members of Congress]. I don’t
know what you’re talking about,” Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told
reporters.

I’m just waiting for a Republican to tell us that no one has read the bill and that the only way for us to know what’s in it is to pass it.*

*…and yes, I’m aware that Nancy Pelosi never literally said that.

Again, rethugs get caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

Apparently, I know more about what’s in this amendment and what’s in this bill than these morons, and I don’t even work for Congress. What does that say about these assholes? Playing dumb as to what’s in this bill isn’t gonna fly, even if they are the dumbest lawmakers we’ve ever had in this country.

I hope it doesn’t fly - and that they get pressed REPEATEDLY and PUBLICLY to explain why they don’t want their wonderful proposals to apply to them and their families.

We all know that whoever insures these jokers is not going to cut any of their benefits.

Clusterfuck is too mild a term.

Sounds like they’re trying to outdo Mr. Trump in the incompetence field.

Being a Republican means you never have to learn from the past.

This is going to go over real well with everyone who showed up at a Town Hall or anywhere to fight for the ACA in the first round.

This might bring out the torches and pitchforks and let us hope it does.

Any Republican congressmen up for some Town Hall questioning about this? They’re lucky the recess is over.

Where is the Democratic commercial on this one?

While your Representiative is all too happy to remove health insurance protections from 24 million people, [s]he is only too happy to write an exclusionary provision to keep those protections for him/herself.

C’mon, Dems!!! This is what messaging is!!!

Hard to attach a fundraising gala packed with celebs to a message like that…

Please wait a bit, the bill isn’t up yet.

Chances are if ‘team blue’ does an ad, Kessler (or whomever) will again run interference for Ryan.

Not to worry.

They’ll just get second jobs, amirite, Republicans?

Rugged Individualism.

Making health care affordable will just make people dependent on doctors, amirite, conservatives?
