Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) criticized Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday hours after he publicly refused to sign off on the latest iteration of a $1.75 social spending package that House Democrats hoped to vote on this week.

"Joe Manchin does not get to dictate the future of our country," Bush said in a statement. "I do not trust his assessment of what our communities need the most. I trust the parents in my district who can’t get to their shift without childcare. I trust the scientists who have shown us what our future will look like if we fail to meaningfully address the climate crisis. I trust the patients and doctors crying out for comprehensive health coverage for every person in America."

"Joe Manchin's opposition to the Build Back Better Act is anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman and anti-immigrant," Bush added. "Senator Manchin must support the Build Back Better Act."

Bush also said that the "Black, brown and Indigenous communities" that would benefit from the spending plan "are overwhelmingly excluded from the bipartisan infrastructure bill" that has passed the Senate but not yet been voted on in the House as progressives insist on first getting a deal on the broader legislation

Manchin has frustrated fellow Democrats with his refusal to support the social package, complicating the House's intentions to have a timely vote on the bill this week.

You get one vote, same as him. You don’t have some inalienable right for others to vote to enact your policy agenda.

[Political Junkie Too]

Cori Bush: tyranny of the minority.

Don’t get your way, throw a fit and spew anti whatever and ‘you are a racist, etc.’ BS. Got it. Typical Leftist DEM playbook, anything new?

[logi_cal869]

That there sounds like an all out tantrum.

(enjoying popcorn...)

These people are ALWAYS angry. Never happy. I would rather be a happy conservative than and angry dem. You can never reason or speak to them. They just get angry, yell at you, give you BOTH fingers (that hurts :)) and then run away. Ridiculous children.

[SteelPSUGOP]

Cori Bush, sorry but the people with the biggest mouths don’t get to dictate policy. Plus, we are tired of you and others like you crying racist any time you don’t get your way.

[Singermom]

You are so right. I think Maxine Waters is the worst and most ugly inside and out.

"I trust the scientists who have shown us what our future will look like if we fail to meaningfully address the climate crisis."

Didn't Gropin' Joe take a snooze during that part of the 'impending doom' lecture? Have him explain it to ya.

“opposition to the Build Back Better Act is anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman and anti-immigrant..”

So he’s admitting the whole spending bill is racist towards non-blacks and discriminates against adult males and citizens.

Like a headache a child will complain of to stay home from school, they always use phrases descrtibing "statistics" no one can find ...

"I do not trust his assessment of what our communities need the most. I trust the parents in my district who can’t get to their shift without childcare. I trust the scientists who have shown us what our future will look like if we fail to meaningfully address the climate crisis. I trust the patients and doctors crying out for comprehensive health coverage for every person in America."

[alloysteel]

Being in FAVOR of this bill is - anti-life.

The Culture of Premature Death strikes again.

Maybe the problem these people want to tackle is too many humans now alive on Planet Earth, hmmmm?

My girlfriends daughters 25 and 20 came over for dinner Sunday, the young once slammed the door, screamed and cursed me and left early because I asked her not to eat the Halloween candy we had for the kids coming out. All that over a piece of candy.
