Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., became the latest Democrat to attack Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in personal terms on Monday, accusing him of not caring about African Americans and other minority groups "as a White man."
The far-left Progressive Caucus member ripped Manchin on CNN over his opposition to Build Back Better, the $1.75 trillion social policy and climate package backed by the Biden White House, saying he was "tremendously frustrated" and "infuriated" with the West Virginia Democrat.
"It went from 3.5 trillion to 1.75 trillion [dollars] because him, his special interests, his donors, and lobbyists were cutting the bill for several months, because they did not want this bill to pass," Bowman said. "Why? Because this bill disproportionately supports people of color. It supports women. It supports children. It supports those who are poor and lifts them out of poverty. Why wouldn’t Manchin want to support that when this would benefit West Virginia tremendously?
"It’s tremendously frustrating for me as a Black man in America because once again, it’s an example of Joe Manchin as a White man showing that he doesn’t care about Black people, he doesn’t care about Latinos, he doesn’t care about immigrants, he doesn’t care about women, and he doesn’t care about the poor. He is a millionaire, and he has the privilege to kick the can down the road and not vote for this bill while the people in my district are suffering."
Bowman went on to suggest Manchin had been bought by lobbyists and that big money in Washington had to go, or else "we don't have a democracy." Left-wing CNN host Laura Coates, filling in for Don Lemon on his nightly program, praised Bowman for his "well-said and articulated" remarks about what is "really at stake here" and what Manchin's true motivations were.

Interesting..The white dem party has helped Planned Parenthood and the abortion movement murder 20 million black babies..I guess that doesn’t count as racist in Bowman’s eyes....
Only took them 24 hours to go full on racist.
Bloativating Bullshit
Oh, FFS. Who listens to this absurd BS anymore?!?!
WHOA!! Fighting words! Stupid Manchin if he continues to be a part of the anti American RAT party! Shame on him!!
Is he a misogynistic homophobe transophobe phobophobe now too?
They don’t even try to conceal their racist hatred anymore.
Jamaal don’t care so long as he gets his cut from the Black Baby Butchers.
How many were his?
Straight from the mouth of a racist bigot.
He’s obviously confusing Joe Manchin for Robert Byrd.
All those white guys from West Virginia look alike anyway.
The tired old “white man doesn’t care about blacks” thing again?
Is that the best they can do?
Jaamal needs to show me just one cotton ball he ever picked or I’ll continue thinking of him as a lying, racist bigot.
Here's the takeaway for you slow lib lurkers out there. The leftist 'rats don't give a rat's backside about you or anyone else. They only want people that support their agenda without question and without exception. Dare to show a little real diversity and their tolerance... Well, as you can see you're instantly labeled a racist and all kinds of other ad-hominem attacks.
People have spoken of him switching parties and maybe going independent because he is definitely not a rethuglican. If I were him under this level 11 assault and abuse, I would take revenge and go rethuglican just to make the demonrats lose all of their precious committees
Whiny black racist POS.
Just shut up and give me stuff. If not, your a racist.
Jamaal Bowman.....poor political negroes ....always in a snit about sumpthin...There great fallback : Whitey= bad
#FUM
“...they did not want this bill to pass,” Bowman said. “Why? Because this bill disproportionately supports people of color. It supports women. It supports children. It supports those who are poor and lifts them out of poverty.”
The Dems have spent trillions over the decades on welfare, people of color, women and children should be all millionaires by now but still in poverty
