Democrats mocked for 'out-of-touch' comments dismissing no tax on tips: 'Peak elitism'

Reilly added, "Meanwhile, millions of families are at risk of losing their health care, hundreds of hospitals could close and countless Americans could lose their jobs - all to pay for permanent tax cuts for billionaires."

With Nevada being the state with the highest share of tipped workers in the country, these comments ignited a firestorm of criticism from Republican voices online.

"Marvel at just how out of touch Democrats are with reality. The DCCC thinks no taxes on tips is 'crumbs,'" conservative commentator Steve Guest wrote.

"What makes this so bad, is that this is ACTUALLY what the Democrat party thinks," wrote White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.

The Republican Congressional Leadership Fund challenged Titus, Lee and Horsford, saying, "Will you denounce the @dccc's statement that cutting taxes on tips amounts to 'crumbs?' Many of your constituents rely on tips to support their families."

National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Christian Martinez wrote, "The @dccc sneering that No Tax on Tips is 'crumbs' is peak Democrat elitism."

Though all three Democrats have advocated for the no-tax-on-tips policy, they voted against the "big, beautiful bill," which included the policy.

Martinez said the Nevada Democrats' "voting record says it all" and that "Out of touch Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford are too scared of their radical, latte-sipping bosses in D.C. to stand with the workers who keep Nevada running."

"Only a party run by latte-liberals who refuse to go into the office thinks hard-earned tip money is pocket lint," he said.

The NRCC also asked, "Will Titus, Lee, and Horsford stand with workers?"

"National Democrats just mocked Nevada's servers, bartenders, cooks, housekeepers, dealers, and hospitality workers, sneering that their right to keep their own hard-earned tip money amounts to nothing more than 'crumbs,'" the NRCC said in a statement.

"This is the shameless party of Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford. They can't hide from their vote AGAINST No Tax on Tips for hardworking Nevadans. If Titus, Lee, and Horsford actually stood with workers, they'd condemn these comments and stand up for workers keeping more of their hard-earned money."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Lee said, "I believe that no one should lose out on tips they earned. That's why I support the TIPS Act to PERMANENTLY end taxes on tips."

"Instead, Republican leaders held it hostage so they could provide cover for themselves as they voted to pass the largest transfer of wealth in American history," she said. "The Republican 'no tax on tips' provision is a raw deal for tipped earners - it's temporary, capped, and so much smaller than the tax breaks the wealthiest Americans got out of the Big Bulls--- Bill.

"Let me be clear - our service workers can't benefit from no tax on tips if they aren't receiving tips thanks to our tourism slump or if they've lost their jobs."

DCCC spokeswoman Lindsay Reilly also responded to the backlash, telling Fox News Digital, "It's sad that the out-of-touch operatives at the NRCC are having a meltdown when confronted with the facts.

Fox News Digital also reached out to Titus and Horsford but did not immediately receive a response.
