Biden says Manchin, Sinema being confronted by activists is 'part of the process'

President Biden responded to the confrontations Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have faced in recent days amid their lack of support for critical items in his agenda, saying he doesn’t think the tactics used against them are "appropriate," but said it is "part of the process."

Activists confronted Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sinema, D-Ariz., over the weekend amid a fight to increase the debt ceiling and support Democrats’ $3.5 trillion spending bill.

When asked Monday for a response to the incidents, Biden said: "I don’t think they’re appropriate tactics, but it happens to everybody."

"The only people it doesn’t happen to are the people who have Secret Service standing around them," Biden said.

He added: "So, it’s part of the process."

Manchin, who was on his boat over the weekend, was confronted by a group of kayakers.

"We're working hard, we really are," Manchin responds to the group. "We're going to continue to in good faith. I really want to get a good bill that's a balanced bill, that's well done. And I know it won't be enough for some. It will be too much for others in West Virginia."

There is an uncomfortable pattern that is happening and if it is not addressed and specific penalties stated and then enforced this can get out of hand. The liberties that people are taking now to protest and speak to congressman has never been the norm. It is dangerous. I think it was in 2019 that Maxine Waters told people to get in people’s faces and encouraged protestors to interrupt people while they are out in public, possibly trying to eat dinner. I was appalled then and even more today. There are safe procedures and protocols in place to use.

Loudly badgering someone, following them (even in to a bathroom) and potentially cornering them is harassment, threatening, and frankly illegal. Ever heard the term “Restraining Order”? Use of any of these tactics are not going to make anyone sympathetic to your cause. There are boundaries that should NOT be crossed.

Try doing the same to a liberal or progressive in good standing and see what happens.

But if a group of conservative tourists try to confront Congresscritters on public property it is an insurrection.

Good grief, is there anything that fraud pedojoe bidet comments on that doesn’t further reveal him to be a leftist, totalitarian fascist, pedophile asshat? No, no there isn’t….

Why wasn’t it “part of the process” on Jan 6?

This is a great example of leftist Doublespeak: We don’t believe in harassment. Nevertheless, we approve of your harassment.

Senators Manchin and Sinema, take careful note of this. You two are being targeted, and it ain’t gonna stop. Save the country. Switch parties, now.

Biden and other Democrats may well learn that another ‘part of the process’ allows party switching, and with words like Biden’s, I’ll now be surprised if that DOES NOT happen.

These are paid agitators. Everyone knows that. And the pattern has gone on for a while now. They were harassing Senators during the Kavanaugh hearings. The last remaining Koch brother should consider Soros tactics.

These paid agitators have more than just walking around money at stake. If the bill passes there are billions of dollars allocated to fund their activism year-round.

But Jan 06 was an 'insurrection.'

If Sinema was back home and armed, I doubt there would be a problem if she felt threatened by some lackwit. It might elicit a groan from the janitor who would have to clean up the spatter after.

A lot of political prisoners from January 6th can tell you exactly what happens.

Well, when you allow BLM rioters to burn down cities and no one is arrested, you're kinda encouraging this bad and dangerous behavior.

Anyone remember the good days when illegals were hiding in the shadows and terrified of being deported?

"Biden says Manchin, Sinema being confronted by activists is 'part of the process'"

So is the President, taking questions from reporters, especially those you don't have an approved list to pick from.
