Progressives slammed Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., after he revealed Sunday that he would not support President Biden’s massive social spending bill known as the Build Back Better Act after months of party negotiations.
"Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bull----," Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., tweeted. "The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans. This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure."
Manchin said earlier on "Fox News Sunday" that he had spoken with Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., but could not reach an agreement on the multi-trillion-dollar legislation. In the end, Manchin said that between ongoing inflation, the national debt, "geopolitical unrest" and the COVID-19 pandemic, the bill being pushed by his fellow Democrats was too much.
"What we need to do is get our financial house in order but be able to pay for what we do and do what we pay for," he said.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Omar said she knew Manchin "couldn't be trusted."
"The excuses that he just made, I think, are complete bull----," she said. "It is really disheartening to hear him say that he has been trying to get there for the people of West Virginia because that's a complete lie. … There are just so many things that, you know, the people of West Virginia desperately need, and we know that he is not working on behalf of their interest, and I really am just completely disappointed and disgusted by his reasoning."

“WE WANT OUR COMMUNISM AND WE WANT IT NOW”
Does she kiss her father with that potty mouth?
Oh...wait
Manchin is looking better with every invective hurled at him.
Her brother.
Omar, its NOT even her real last name, she stole that name from another family who came here..gee she sounds bitter and upset, I hope she doesn’t blow herself up over this
I wish they hadn’t separated them too, we might not have either.
Somehow I doubt the Representative from Little Mogadishu’s sincerity about what the people of West Virginia want and need.
He real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
She lied to get into the country.
Sounds like she did everyone
Manchin is thinking about our children and grandchildren. Check Sanders’ history...he’s sponged off society his entire life. AOC is stupid.
Full court press on Manchin.......
“We’ll just cut it down to two years versus 10 years. We’ll cut this one to four years versus 10 years or one year versus 10 years.”
“That’s not being genuine as far as I’m concerned with my constituents in West Virginia”
GRAHAM: “To my Democratic colleagues: You have been misrepresenting to the American people the real cost of this bill. CBO scored the bill without gimmicks and it went from $1.75 trillion to almost $5 trillion. It is not paid for. Without gimmicks, it adds $3 trillion to the deficit.” https://youtu.be/3U_KOsz6A1M?t=997
GRAHAM: “[Congressman] Jason [Smith] and myself asked the CBO to score Build Back Better assuming that [certain provisions] with a sunset clause would actually stay in for ten years – which is reality. Ronald Reagan said the closest thing to immortality on earth is a government program. So we all know that these spending programs Democrats are trying to put in Build Back Better, they don’t want them to go away. And if history is any judge, they won’t go away.” https://youtu.be/3U_KOsz6A1M?t=903
On Democrats calling CBO’s analysis “fake”:
GRAHAM: “We didn’t make up the numbers. [CBO] analyzed the bill [without gimmicks]… The White House Spokesperson and Senator Durbin are attacking the CBO because if they can’t successfully pull that off, they’re in trouble.” https://youtu.be/3U_KOsz6A1M?t=737
Progressives?
They are progressive, as in a cancer processing through a body.
They are liberal, as in liberally going about to break down a moral society.
They demand social justice, as in the ends justify the means.
They are anti-christs.
processing=progressing
The liberal tears over a DU are running like water over Niagara Falls. It’s a beautiful thing to see😎
There are no Manchins in the Houses of Omar and Sanders.
Add Psaki to those badmouthing Manchin. Biden won’t be able to stop himself from doing it soon.
Then, next year, won’t they be surprised when he stiffs them again.
Put some ice on it, “ladies”.
