'Holy yikes'! Dan Pfeiffer tries to put negative spin on positive tax cut news and it fails BADLY

Here at Twitchy we often mock Nancy Pelosi’s “Armageddon” comment about the GOP tax bill when discussing news of companies crediting the tax cuts for their decisions to increase employee pay, bonuses or benefits. However, former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer tried to take away from the tax cut bill’s effectiveness this way:

If Trump and media claim that every raise and bonus is evidence of the success of the tax law, then every layoff must also be a failure a of that very same law. You can't have it both ways (except on Fox) https://t.co/TSLIquKfY0

Just a few problems with that. First off…

Someone didn't read the press releases from these companies, they're the ones citing the new tax law. https://t.co/3ayDs2QhDf

Here is Dan’s problem with this desperate attempt at spin: It’s not the GOP that’s crediting the tax law for those positive actions, it’s the companies themselves. Further, it makes sense thatower taxes would lead to more spending. No similar logical connection to layoffs. https://t.co/zfEkWp9Vzi

Trump & media aren’t making that claim. The companies themselves are claiming bonus & raises are part of the tax bill. https://t.co/5EqJ5kKR9Q

And that’s not the only thing:

We’re sure he’d be able to come up with something, no matter how ridiculous.

Not often you see partisans from the prior Administration arguing that the present didn't go far enough in its policies. More tax cuts please, apparently. https://t.co/zP9CdFGIVZ
