[INDENT][URL='http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/200227-schumer-blames-tea-party-for-possible-death-of-payroll-tax-cut'](The Hill)[/URL] — The White House and Senate Democrats are going into overdrive to blame the possible death of a payroll tax cut on House Republicans and the Tea Party. The messaging effort comes ahead of a Monday night vote in the House, which is expected to reject a two-month extension of the payroll tax cut that was approved by the Senate on Saturday. In separate appearances on morning talk shows, White House officials and senior Democrats sought to portray Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) as beholden to Tea Party Republicans, who were forcing him to back away from the Senate legislation. That bill won 89 votes in the Senate on Saturday. White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer made similar accusations later, on MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown.” “You don’t get 89 votes for something like this without there being a complete understanding [that] the House Republican leadership was on board,” Pfeiffer said on MSNBC. “Speaker Boehner got on the phone with his caucus, tried to sell it, we had a Tea Party revolt.” [B]Pfeiffer specifically named two Tea Party favorites, freshman Reps. Allen West (R-Fla.) and Joe Walsh (R-Ill.).[/B] [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
