Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin got into a shouting match Tuesday with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell when asked why he won’t say whether he would support President Joe Biden should he run for re-election.
The duo discussed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which Manchin threw his support behind despite criticism that the bill would have little to no impact on current inflation woes.
Mitchell switched gears slightly, referencing Manchin’s Sunday appearance on “Meet the Press,” during which the senator said he would only endorse candidates in the midterms on an individual basis.
“You said you would decide based on individual candidates I think,” Mitchell said. “Would you support Joe Biden if he’s on the ticket in 2024 as the Democratic President seeking re-election?”
“Let me make it very, very clear. This is the most- one of the most important pieces of legislation in my lifetime that we’ve ever done, to have energy security, to fight inflation, to help our geopolitical — ”
“And you’ve worked with a Democratic White House on it,” Mitchell said.
“That’s exactly — I’m working with them on it. I’m very appreciative, but for me to bring politics into it, oh, this is a Democrat bill, this is an anti-Republican bill, this is not. I’m not talking about the 2022 election and 2024. I have no control over those elections. And I’m not going to talk about them that will skew one of the greatest pieces of legislation, and I’m very appreciative that the president has seen it, he’s approved it, he supports it. God Bless him for that. It’s great for America. Can’t we do something for our country without having to bring politics into it? That’s all I want to talk about.”
Ah, Joe ... everyone sees this legislation for what it is ... pro-Democrat and anti-American. You're getting testy in these interviews because YOU KNOW that EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS that this very bad legislation that will make inflation and the recession that much worse - no matter what kind of euphemistic BS title you put on it. You're not thinking straight, Joe ... the powers-that-be in the Democrat Party already hate your guts and will do anything to twist a knife in your back ... but, you will bail them out by signing onto anti-American legislation just because you were feeling estranged from your Democrat comrades - and because they might okay a West Virginia pipeline?! C'mon, Joe ... you're smarter than that. This is gonna come back to bite you in the ass, big time.
“You’re a Democratic senator,” Mitchell said.
“I’m not going to talk about it,” Manchin shot back.
“Whether you’re going to support the leader of your own party — ” Mitchell cut in.
