U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is blasting his party’s outgoing Senate leader Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) after Reid released a statement that Manchin says verbally attacked President-Elect Donald Trump. In Reid’s statement, he called Trump a “sexual predator” and suggested Trump to “roll back the tide of hate he unleashed.” On Friday, Manchin responded to Reid’s statement: “Senator Harry Reid’s statement today attacking President-elect Trump is wrong! It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation. I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me,” Manchin said in a news release.

Harry is having issues.
Manchin’s maneuvering for “political viability”!
I am reliability told that he is way past his shelf date in WV. People there are tired of his “dancing”. I hope it’s true.
The GOP is ready when you are, Joe
His state voted BIGLY for Trump.
Manchin is a TWO-FACED CREEP!!! DON:T TRUST HIM!!! All he wants is to be with the WINNING PARTY!!
Never trust a turncoat.
Manchin must have an election around the corner.
The spiritual polarity over America has inverted!
OK, that sounds New Ageish and maybe, of itself, it is. But God is pushing out the devil at this point. Let’s think of all manner of hay that can be made while the Son shines. A disgust movement against Dirty Harry? Dear God! Please, please, please!
Manchin is a TWO-FACED CREEP!!! DON:T TRUST HIM!!! All he wants is to be with the WINNING PARTY!!

Yep, but we are getting him anyway. He will switch before Trump is sworn in.
A quasi friend? Well, we can see. The Donald is going to be cracking whips over Congress pretty soon. Snap! Yee haw! Snap!
He does ! 2018!
Hatred Harry? This from one of the most hateful senators in the history of America.
I hope wherever you end up you’re hated as much as you deserve to be, Harry.
I think it's time to cross the aisle.
“It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation.”
The whole democratic party is an embarrassment to the Senate and the Nation.
Very likely!
Those that I know that know him tell me Manchin is only for Manchin!
No surprised there!

Joe’s daughter is the very face of the medical cartels ceaselessly ripping off American consumers. We do not need him in the GOP.
Trust? No - but I’ll take him for votes. His state went MASSIVELY for Trump and he will probably be one of Trump’s biggest yes men in the senate.
Manchin is up for reelection in 2018. Even before this election, he had a big target on his back. He is terrified about losing his seat.
Because of his fear of not getting reelected, he can be pressured into voting with Trump on some important votes — like Obamacare, supreme court justice, nomination, lowering taxes, etc.
If we can get enough other Democratic Senators, we might be able to prevent filibusters.
