Left-wing celebrities wasted no time Friday celebrating Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s decision to pull the Obamacare replacement bill, known as the American Health Care Act (AHCA).
After two days of high-stakes gamesmanship, President Donald Trump requested that the bill be pulled, CNN reported.
The move led to a flood of mocking and gloating from some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Comedian Drew Carey called it Trump’s “worst day as president,” while other stars like Mark Ruffalo thanked far-left pressure group the #Resistance for forcing lawmakers to cave on the bill.
Below is a roundup of reactions:

No vote. The Repubs decided if they couldn't win the game, rather than play they would take their bats & ball & go home. Typical behavior.

What a nailbiter watching Repubs with their evil healthcare bill – Paul Ryan had to pull another all nighter! No time to even lift, bro.

Apparently "the art of the deal" means coming up with something so awful that you get everyone to collectively not want to go near it. 👏

Even though they made their bill even meaner and more hateful toward women and kids, it wasn't anti-woman enough for the Tea Party Reps.

We're gonna whine so much you may even get tired of whining. You'll say please Mr. President, it's too much whining, we can't take anymore!
