Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) stunned political junkies watching CSPAN on Thursday night over his visible reaction to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to attack Senate Republicans during a floor speech after Republicans threw Schumer a lifeline and helped him out of a crisis over raising the debt ceiling.
And have no doubts about it ... THAT is exactly what happened ... McConnell threw Schumer a lifeline. But, naturally ... Schumer then blames Republicans for a crisis created solely by Democrats. ROTFLMAO! But Manchin isn't laughing ... 'cuz he knows the truth ... and knows that everyone else knows the truth, as well.

Manchin fumed after Schumer’s stunt on the Senate floor, telling reporters, “I didn’t think it was appropriate at this time.”
“We had talked about that,” Manchin said. “But he felt charged up and he and I have good conversations.”
Yep. Apparently, Manchin had a real good conversation with Schumer ...

Report: Joe Manchin Told Chuck Schumer He Was ‘F***ing Stupid’ For Attacking GOP

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reportedly told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that his Thursday speech on the Senate floor was “f***ing stupid.”
Manchin’s blunt assessment of Schumer’s remarks comes after the West Virginia senator was visibly upset in the Senate chamber, burying his head in his hands during Schumer’s speech.

When asked why Schumer’s attacks on Republicans were not appropriate, Manchin said, “I just think that basically what we got to do is find the pathway forward and make sure that we de-weaponize; we have to de-weaponize. You can’t be playing politics; none of us can, on both sides, and both sides have been very guilty of this. The frustration was built up.”
Manchin said that the way that Schumer dealt with his frustration was “not the way to take it out” and that he would have handled it differently.
“You can fight about a lot of things, but you don’t throw this [inaudible], this is the most serious thing that we can do and we’re not going to do it anymore,” Manchin said. “We will not default and go through this again. We’ll work it out.”
Manchin suggested that the party could have used reconciliation to raise the debt ceiling, saying that he did not think that it would have hurt the party.
McConnell said this week that Democrats did not want to use the reconciliation process because “this relatively brief process would inconvenience their floor schedules.”
“Since mid-July, Republicans have clearly stated that Democrats will need to raise the debt limit on their own,” McConnell said in a letter to Biden this week. “All year, your party has chosen to pursue staggering, ‘transformational’ spending through unprecedented use of the party-line reconciliation process. Democrats inherited bipartisan trends from COVID relief to appropriations but have chosen to govern alone. Even now, with Americans already facing painful inflation, Democrats are preparing another staggering taxing and spending spree without any Republican input or support.”
