Sen. Manchin calls Harry Reid ‘absolute embarrassment’ for anti-Trump rant

Sen. Joe Minchin delivered a sharp rebuke Friday to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid for denouncing Americans who elected Donald Trump.

“Senator Harry Reid’s statement today attacking President-elect Trump is wrong! It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation,” Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, said in a statement released late Friday.

“I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me,” said Mr. Manchin, one of the most conservative Democrats in the upper chamber of the U.S. Congress.

Calling Harry Reid an absolute embarrassment is not a “sharp rebuke”; it is a simple truth.

Before anyone gets too excited, his star went R and Trump. Reid isn’t running for reelection.

All for show.

He’s right, but he’s just scrambling to protect his seat. This is the clown whose daughter brought us $500 epi-pens. He’s just another beltway parasite. We can grab that seat next time.

How many times did Reid mention the Koch Brothers this time?

So much for fear mongering over the alleged power of the Koch brothers. They never supported Trump but he won without them.

Manchin needs to switch parties now. WV went overwhelmingly for Trump and their other US senator is a Republican woman. Seems he definitely has more in common with Republicans and not the Dims who’ve gone a long way toward destroying the coal industry.

Reid is the absolute embodiment of the evil party, its paragon of evil. Go to hell Harry, you have no shame.

Before everyone gets all enamored with Joe, be mindful he is the one who enabled his daughter to slide the system on the now exposed price gouging epi-pen scandal. This is nothing more than advanced cover to keep her scam going in addition to making himself look like a conservative, which he is not.

might be a smart move at this point, looking at WV voting trends.

He’s already been threatened with primary challenges from the liberal base of the party. But that *guarantees* the seat will go red - by a very wide margin.

How long until we hear the term "Jumpin' Joe" as Manchin covers his butt to remain elected in WV?

Since Harry approves of using the IRS as a political weapon, I think Trump should direct them to audit Harry’s tax returns for the past 10 years.

Probably once out-of-state interests attempt to mount a suicide primary challenge, he will switch (and enter the GOP primary).
