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."

Omarcron and the Kernal.
That’s showing you did right Joe Manchin! Getting the Marxist bytches drawers in a wad is priceless!!!!!!
I wouldn’t put it past her.
I’ve got an unnaturally strong mancrush on Joe Manchin. Hope he doesn’t break my heart. Doesn’t seem like he will, but I do worry about the politics when people stop getting their $300/child tax credit in January. That’s a lot of money, and it’s easy to overlook the fact that people will be paying for it with inflation and robbing our fiscal future.
I do want ANY ‘benefit” that someone else is paying for......
AND-—As a working taxpayer—I already have PAID more than my fair share to support the deadbeats & the illegitimate kids& the drunks & druggies who are ‘homeless’.
No better time than now for Man him to quit the RATS and join the pubbies.
Omar and Sanders should get a room.
I’ve NEVER seen them so upset.
Joe’s list of enemies is something to be proud of.
Mebe omar should go back to somolia and collect the monies needed to pay for communism
The muzzie jihadist is sooooo eloquent.
