Patrick Morrisey Attacks Joe Manchin Over His Last-Minute Support For Kavanaugh

Morrisey called Manchin’s announcement a “craven political calculation” to salvage his political career. Manchin announced his support for Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s high court pick, minutes after Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins said she would vote to confirm the judge.

“When it matters most, Joe Manchin is with Hillary Clinton for President, Chuck Schumer and Obama for gun control, and is voting with Nancy Pelosi for amnesty for illegal immigrants,” Morrisey said.

Patrick Morrisey for Senate

[Governor Dinwiddie]

At least wait until the vote is final, Pat. After that let slip the dogs of war!
 

[bigbob]

Scotus first, then the Senate. Play ball and Trump will probably come to WV again.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yeah, decisions like THIS are why this guy is not running such a hot campaign.

[Qwackertoo]

He should shut up until we have Justice Kavanaugh.

[17th Miss Regt]

Morrisey called Manchin’s announcement a “craven political calculation” to salvage his political career.

He is absolutely correct.

[HamiltonJay]

On political merrit, this guy should lose to Manchin honestly, he’s damn lucky that he is gunning for th Senate in the cycle he is... he’s not on par.

[SoldiersPrayingMom]

My sentiments exactly....Patrick Morrisey should wait until after the final vote!!

[Artemis Webb]

To all things there is a time and a place. I’m not sure what place Morrissey was in but his timing, to be kind, shows very poor judgment.

[mrs9x]

I don’t have a problem with his comments, it was clear Manchin was waiting to see how all the RINOs voted before announcing his support for Kavanaugh.

[Defiant]

Exactly what I was going to say.

[confederatecarpetbag]

I disagree. All the talk was Machin didn’t want to be the deciding vote, with Murkowski a no, thst’s exact,y what Old Joe is: the clincher. If he votes no, it would be Pence for the tiebreaker.

[SoldiersPrayingMom]

Yeppers!! Someone should tell Patrick Morrisey that in Proverbs 29:11 it says....”A fool utters all his mind, but a wise man keeps it in until afterwards.” Thus, at least wait until after he becomes Supreme Court Judge Bret Kavanaugh, ya doofus!!

[DAC21]

“At least wait until the vote is final, Pat. After that let slip the dogs of war!”

EXACTLY, stupid.

[Zhang Fei]

[Yeah, decisions like THIS are why this guy is not running such a hot campaign.]

Why? If Collins votes no, Manchin will switch to no. Morrissey is merely highlighting Manchin’s duplicity at his moment of maximum vulnerability.

[mac_truck]

Premature exclamation...

[T Ruth]

At least wait until the vote is final, Pat.

Exactly. Patrick, shut up until the vote is taken.

[painter]

That's right!

West Virginia democrats, Manchin betrayed you! Stay home on election day, or vote against him!

[Boomer]

One would think WV would want a solid conservative to represent them instead of a squishy dem.

[Theodore R.]

“The democracy” dies hard in WV.
