Senator Joe Manchin is chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. There is no excuse for that.
lol Joe Manchin brags about sinking Build Back Better in an ad he just cut for a Republican candidate for Congress. Democrats were never going to get this guy on board for any part of their agenda.

Good for him! So long as that what he believes was the right thing to do. That's how a democracy works. He is being crystal clear for this constituents. If they don't agree with him they will vote him out. He is better than most in Congress in terms of transparency and ownership!

Wondering if @POTUS still thinks he is going to join them and pass BBB.
Give Dems a bigger majority in the Senate and make this guy irrelevant.

Marianne, I looked into this earlier. The Republican he's helping in the ad is in a primary against a true Trump nutter. So..... I can see why he did this. The issue is going to come if Manchin doesn't help the Democrat in the general election.

If you look up the definition of ‘swindler’ in the dictionary, you’ll see a Manchin family portrait. They’re all rotten.

If his donors demand it, he gives it to them. If his voters demand it, he gives them the middle finger.
