In a Sunday appearance on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) responded to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) describing the GOP tax bill as “Armageddon” this week.

Barrasso dismissed Pelosi’s comments, calling her “almost unhinged.”

“Nancy Pelosi has said [the tax bill] is the end of the world and this is Armageddon. The statements are almost unhinged,” Barrasso told host John Catsimatidis. “People like Nancy Pelosi run for office so they can basically try to grow the government. And people like me run for office to put policies in place to grow the economy. For her it may sound like Armageddon, but for me it sounds like freedom.”
