Nancy Pelosi Rails Against GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill On House Floor: ‘Let Us Vote No on This Shameful Bill’

UNKNOWN: “Gentlewoman is recognized for how much?”

Pelosi: “Thank you, Mr. Speaker.”

McGovern: “One minute.”

UNKNOWN: “One minute.”

Pelosi: “One minute. Thank you — Mr. Speaker, thank you for your leadership, Mr. McGovern. The gentleman just ended by saying, to vote for this Big, Beautiful Bill. This Big, Beautiful Bill? Well, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then you, GOP, you have a very blurred vision of what America is about. Is it beautiful to cut off food from seniors and children? Is it beautiful to cut off 17 million people from health care? Is it beautiful to do this? To give tax cuts to billionaires in our country? Is it beautiful to take money from education and the rest? The list goes on and on. Dr. King, nearly 60 years ago, said: ‘Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.’ We come to this floor with the moral force of Dr. King’s words in our heart. Let us not with this bill turn the American dream he talked about into a nightmare for America’s seniors, the disabled, our children. Our children. Our children. Let us vote ‘no’ on this shameful bill — and throw a punch for the children.”

UNKNOWN: “Gentlewoman’s time has expired. Gentlewoman from North Carolina.”

FOXX: “Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I reserve.”

UNKNOWN: “Gentlewoman reserves.”
