Today, Joe Manchin launched a nuke at his own party, and he blew up Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill.
Right now, with inflation so high, and the economy so statement, and Biden trying to fire any American who doesn’t take his precious vaccine, this isn’t the time to be passing some massive pork bill that won’t even help the American people much, anyway.
And West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has just decided that he can’t back the bill.
He’s now a firm “no.”

And it turns out, the White House was taken by surprise.
So much so, that snarky Jen Psaki was actually “blindsided.”
You gotta love it!
Daily Wire reported that the White House accused Joe Manchin on Sunday for breaking his word after the Democrat publicly said he is a ‘no’ on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better initiative following months of negotiations over the social spending legislation.
‘Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground,’ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on his latest comments.
‘If his comments on Fox and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position,’ she added, ‘and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.’
Manchin told Fox News Sunday: ‘I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation.’
‘I just can’t,’ the West Virginia Democratic senator continued. ‘I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there.’
He said: ‘This is a no.’
Glad that Manchin stood up for what’s right.
Now, we need him to stick with it, and not back down, because Biden will tweak this bill, to try to get Manchin’s support, to stuff it through.
But for now, the bill is dead, and that’s a good thing…another colossal blow to Joe Biden, who’s already wounded.
