HOST JOY REID: This week House Speaker Paul Ryan, attempted one heck of a pivot, spinning a question about the Nunes memo into a complaint about Democrats’ lack of appreciation for his new tax bill, the tax bill that as Ryan bragged yesterday on Twitter is working so well that, quote, “A secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week. She said that will more than cover her Costco membership for the year.” $1.50 a week? That’s like an extra dollop of gruel for Oliver Twist! Quickly someone fetch me my monocle and top hat! I think little Oliver is dancing and dancing with joy for the extra dollop of gruel! Ryan, quickly deleted the tweet, but it did not stop him being dragged on Twitter for the rest of the day.
