Reporters have witnessed cases of Bud Light being delivered to the Capitol under sheets as House Republicans appear to be planning a party to celebrate their vote to take health insurance away from 24 million people and make insurance more expensive for those with pre-existing conditions.
Alexandra Jaffe of Vice News tweeted:
Cases upon cases of beer just rolled into the Capitol on a cart covered in a sheet. Spotted Bud Light peeking out from the sheet

Jaffe noted that she didn’t know where the beer was going:
In fairness I don't know where his was going. Just hopped on an elevator https://t.co/u9yTrFSnmx

Let’s use a little logic and common sense.
1). Republicans are excited about repealing Obamacare.
2). Republicans see this vote as a victory and a cause for celebration.
3). Many people drink beer when they are celebrating.
We don’t know who was getting all of that beer, but somebody is planning a party, and it is a safe guess that it is related to Republicans finally passing a bill that will take health care away from tens of millions of Americans.
