Republicans already let the world know they will unanimously oppose the health care bill tonight, but now they are mocking Democratic divisions as more members of the majority party announce they can’t support the plan in its current form.
(Watch the debate live here.)
Staffers in Minority Whip Eric Cantor’s office are having some fun today, and are sending reporters updates when Democrats announce their plans to vote “No.”
Cantor says: “There will be one bipartisan vote today, and that is against Speaker Pelosi’s overhaul of health care. There will not be a bipartisan vote for this bill.”
