Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) reasons for not supporting Democrats' social spending bill are "bull----" after the West Virginia moderate shocked lawmakers Sunday by announcing he was a "no" on the legislation.
"Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bull----. The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans," Omar tweeted.
Omar said Manchin's position was what progressive House lawmakers had warned for months — that the Senate did not have all 50 Democratic votes needed to pass Biden's spending package.
“This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure,” she said.

Apparently Manchin wants to be re-elected by reflecting the values of those he represents. Go figure.
Awwwwwww! I thought the left loved “mavericks”.
Ilhan Omar, you talk too much.
This snotty little criminal _itch should be prosecuted and deported back to that shithole she sprang from.
Manchin said the BBB is too expensive and would ruin the USA for years to come. Manchin is right!!!
What is the long term care in the bill? That is expensive as hell
Wrong. Nobody benefits from those kinds of government overreaches.
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
[budgeting scams of bill advocates]
“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”
I thought such attacks were against the rules?
If only it was coming from someone other than Linda.
He doesn’t mind adding trillions to the deficit when it comes to his priorities (usually wars or defense funding).
It never bothered him before.
Will she be strapping a bomb to her body in protest?
She meant “brandons 🐂💩 boondoggle”.
As long as she blows herself up, and harms no one else, I’m fine with that.
Hey, Omar!...Yeah, you, you beotch.
Wanna see what real BS looks like?
Look in the mirror.
This creature should have been deported...loooonnnnng ago.
Omar is a brother f’ker.
Well, she could take the rest of “the Squat” with her.
I suppose that would fit with your “harms no one else” comment, wouldn’t it?
Democrat or not, he is an American, she is not.
