CNN's New Day Tuesday morning mocked Joe Manchin's statement explaining that as a West Virginian, he couldn't be intimidated into supporting Build Back Better. New Day aired a clip of Manchin saying:

"Well, guess what? I'm from West Virginia. I'm not from where they're from. And they can just beat the living crap out of people, and think they'll be submissive."

Co-host John Berman led the charge, saying:

"You know I always love it when someone says, I'm from West Virginia, we don't back down to anything. People from all 50 states will say that."

I’m betting Joe Manchin of West Virginia is less likely to back down than some guy from, say, Delaware.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

CNN mocks anything that isn’t child rape

Not funny!

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

I thought the media loved it when members of the same party went against their leader. Why doesn’t Manchin get the “Maverick” (ie worship) treatment, ala John McCain (when Trump was President)? Hmmmm?

Oh if Manchin woulda caved he’d be the darling of the left today you can bet on that.

I’m glad they can find happiness and humor in Brandon’s BBB going down in flames along with his Presidency.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Exactly. Or like Romney getting a Kennedy Profile in Courage award for bucking the GOP.

I thought Manchin came out today saying he would vote to overturn the Trump tax cuts. You can’t trust this guy.

Manchin deals with the reality of political expedience. I am thankful that he did the right thing for the citizens of West Virginia and America. It took courage and brass to oppose the communist democrat party and their treasonous BBB treasury theft. The RINO Republicans who support the commie dems are the ones who regularly and predictably sabotage the Rep party. If Joe Manchin remains in the commie dem party he will of course support most of their agenda. He is welcome to join the Republican party if he sees it as an improvement over the traitorous communist democrat party.

West VA don’t never get no love! Ever!

People from all 50 states will say that.”

But can they back it up?
Manchin can. And he has.

Might as well interview some criminals in prison as these people.

If FOXNews people were involved in molesting and raping children - it would be a big front page New York Times story... When it’s CNN even their own bimbos don’t know the story.
