Ryan Refuses to Say If Pelosi Is ‘Lying’ About the GOP Tax Plan

‘I don’t even know where she’s making that stuff up’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "Mr. Speaker, Nancy Pelosi put out a statement yesterday. She said, tomorrow --"
RYAN: "Let me guess. She said it wasn't -- she said some unkind things about this tax bill, right?"
DOOCY: "You know what? A Kind of like it. Speaker Ryan will ask House Republicans for a vote on a tax hike on 36 million middle class Americans, families that is dead on arrival in the Senate. And she goes on. Are 36 million Americans in the middle class going to see a tax hike?"
RYAN: "No. No. No. No, I don’t even know where she’s making that stuff up."
DOOCY: "Is she lying about it? Mr. Speaker, are they lying about your plan?"
RYAN: "She -- 36 million middle class taxpayers are not getting a tax cut, middle class tax -- are not getting a tax increase. Middle income taxpayers are getting — look, just don't -- go to fairandsimple.gop and by the way let me just say it this way, if you’re a family, your first $20,000 today are tax-free. Under this plan your first $24,000 are tax-free. What that means is nine out of ten Americans will be able to fill out their taxes on the size of a postcard."
