Manchin drowned out by protesters as he explains vote
The Hill ^ | 10/05/18 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), the lone Democrat who will vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was confronted by angry protesters outside his office after announcing his position.

Manchin’s answers to reporters justifying his position was drowned out by a group of women protesters chanting at him “Look at us!” and “shame!”

Manchin looked uncomfortable as he tried to hear reporters questions over the angry crowd.

Running for re-election in a state President Trump won by double digits, Manchin is considered a vulnerable Democrat.

Trump has endorsed state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) and has campaigned for him, despite Manchin working with Trump regularly.

Manchin said he empathizes with the victims of sexual assault but pointed to an FBI report that did not corroborate 36-year-old assault allegations against Kavanaugh.

“Based on all of the information I have available to me, including the recently completed FBI report, I have found Judge Kavanaugh to be a qualified jurist who will follow the Constitution and determine cases based on the legal findings before him,” he said in a statement released at 4 pm Friday.

Manchin was pressured by both sides about his vote.

Liberal activists occupied his West Virginia campaign office Monday afternoon demanding that he oppose Kavanaugh.

But a poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, a GOP survey firm, found West Virginians strongly favor Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

The poll conducted for the Judicial Crisis Network, a group that spent millions of dollars on ads supporting Kavanaugh, showed that 58 percent of West Virginians back Kavanaugh while 28 percent oppose him.

"LOOK AT ME" and "LOOK AT US" seems to be the newest means of attack.

Or it’s just their typical level of narcissism on display.

He probably expected this reaction, or worse.
Manchin may even be wearing a lead vest right now.

Have you seen what those girls look like? This is a most vicious attack indeed. I almost wouldn’t blame Manchin for giving into their demands, or maybe even ripping his eyes out of their sockets.

Narcissism indeed! At one point they shifted from shouting - shame - to shouting - look at us, look at us.

I’m not kidding - they shouted that in unison several times, as they could not handle that Manchin and the media were completely ignoring them.

i think Senator Daines better be at the vote tomorrow I don’t think Manchin is a yes. I think he was told to say it as a head fake.

The Left wants to toss his sorry hide. Then again, this is the hill they’ve elected to die on.

Let them.

Truth doesn’t matter to these harpies.....gender is the only thing that is important! ‘The seriousness of the charges trumps the evidence (of which there is NONE)’ Innocent until proven guilty is no longer the law of the land, in Obamaland.....but Obama is no longer President and we now have a POTUS that respects the Constitution and the Country1!

LOOK AT ME - exactly what it’s all about - attention-seeking, self-absorbed emotional children who think they’re the center of the universe because they took a few college courses or maybe were sexually-assaulted - ignore such behavior as you would the tantrums of a two year old.....
