This evening, Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin put out a statement that President Biden and Dem leadership (and lefty progressives) won’t like:
Garrett Haake ~ New @Sen_JoeManchin statement is BRUTALLY critical of reconciliation. Includes phrases like "definition of fiscal insanity," & not "reengineer the social and economic fabric of this nation or vengefully tax" -- this doesn't read at ALL like someone who is remotely on board.
Phil Mattingly ~ MANCHIN Statement: "While I am hopeful that common ground can be found that would result in another historic investment in our nation, I cannot – and will not - support trillions in spending or an all or nothing approach that ignores the brutal fiscal reality our nation faces."
The Daily Beast’s Sam Brodey quoted Sen. Pramila Jayapal interpreting Manchin’s statement as calling President Biden “insane”:
Sam Brodey ~ Rep. Jayapal just said about this statement: “I assume he is saying that the president is insane, because this is the president’s agenda.”
Uh ... yeah ... and your point is?
Is that what happened? Many think so:
Charles C. W. Cooke ~ Yes?
Yeah, that sounds fairly accurate.
Caroline Downey ~ Yes, that's quite right.
Cassandra ~ If the shoe fits.
The Partyman ~ She nailed him. No way Manchin gets re-elected in West Virginia if he insults the guy who got like 6% of the vote there.
"Insanity" for $2,000, Alex.
He wants to piss away $3.5 Trillion of taxpayer money, while stupidly suggesting it would actually cost nothing.
"Who is Joe Biden," Alex.
