An aide pushing a cart full of beer into the Capitol Thursday basically pinky-swore that the beverages had not been ordered to celebrate the House passing a bill designed to kill Obamacare.
Shortly before House Republicans celebrated a narrow vote approving President Trump's promised health care repeal bill (which still has to pass the Senate),Playboy foursome season 1 episode 2 the Capitol worker denied that the big wagon of beer he was pushing through the building was headed toward a celebration party.
The internet wasn't buying it, though, and couldn't help but skewer the GOP for what appeared to be a pre-planned kegger to celebrate an unpopular and, at best, problematic bill.

Jaffe snapped a photo of the beer and asked about its purpose. The man tending the cart of Bud Light said it was for "a different meeting," but didn't elaborate.

Now, it's perfectly plausible that there is some other party going on in the Capitol building while all of the members of Congress were voting. Or maybe they're all REALLY thrilled with passing sanctions against North Korea.
Either way, the optics of an apparent House party did not go over well as word of the mysterious beer spread. Especially since the controversies surrounding the bill were many and included:
No Congressional Budget Office score to assess the cost of the new bill (the CBO report on the failed bill in March said 24 million people would lose health care after ten years)
Reports that an amendment in the bill would grant states a waiver that would remove pre-existing conditions protections that could negatively affect rape and domestic violence survivors.
Several Republicans admitted they hadn't read the bill before the vote.
So, yeah, a celebratory kegger, if true, is not a good look. Twitter took notice.

House members of the GOP did end up at the White House for a celebratory press conference shortly after the bill's passage, though they were not seen with empty cans of Bud. CBS News, however, also reported during the vote that beer was standing by for the celebration.

We've contacted the White House and representatives from House Speaker Paul Ryan's office for comment on the beer delivery and will update this story if we hear back from any of them.
