SANDERS: Let Manchin vote no on Build Back Better 'in front of the whole world'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) expressed his frustration with Sen. Joe Manchin after the West Virginia Democrat said Sunday he would not vote for President Biden's social spending package.

“I think he's gonna have a lot of explaining to do to the people of West Virginia,” Sanders told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

Sanders alleged that Manchin “doesn’t have the guts to stand up to powerful special interests.” The Vermont Democrat said he still wanted the Senate to take a vote on the bill regardless of where Manchin stands.

“We've been dealing with Mr. Manchin for month after month after month. But if he doesn't have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of West Virginia and America, let him vote no in front of the whole world,” he added.

Maybe Manchin has the courage of his convictions. That might explain why Bernie is baffled.

He is there for the betterment of the little people. They are little because they didn't do what he did. He doesn't need to follow his rules because he figured out how to get his. They didn't figure it out and need to do what he says. It's for their own good.

Joe needs to let that middle finger fly and come over to the GOP.

RINOs are likewise baffled.

Bernies entire life as a vicious communist SOB hiding behind this gentle grandfather facade was riding on this bill.

He thought he’d finally gotten what he’d spent his whole life pursuing, the destruction of our Free Republic.

I listened to his plaintiff wale this morning. The children and elderly are all going to die while the rich get richer. So tired. So worn and old just like Bernie.

Hearing him in all his feigned anger and disappointment put a smile on my face and a skip in my step.

Off to get an egg
white omelet with spinach, gyro meat and feta.

Fyou! and FOff! Bernie Sanders, you sick decrepit old freak.

Trump did win WVA by nearly forty percent last November. Seeing that he’s a RAT in an overwhelmingly red state Joe is playing the political game as usual. I want to see him actually vote NO on this plan before trying to renegotiate the final price tag with the president!

As my former employer (a devout Orthodox Jew) used to tell me, he had no tolerance for secular non-practicing Jews and refused to do business with them. He said they are JINOs. Jews in Name Only and use their Jewishness as a weapon against anyone that disagrees with them which give real genuine Jews a bad name. He especially despised East Coast Jews like Bernie and Chuckie. He said they were the worst.

Yes, that would be perplexing to Bernie.

Sanders runs to safe space CNN and uses the weasel word “we” a lot ...and has the audacity to call someone a coward.

Yep. He is going to have to answer to the people of West Virginia all right.

I’m sure all the coal miners just love the idea of paying off some east coast wokester’s college debt.

Sanders is just like all the left. They believe with every ounce of their being in their self righteousness and no other facts exist.

Yes Bernie. Let Manchin remind that not spending fake money is better than faux “building” back. I’d love to write the speech.

Let Manchin switch parties and give Biden a divided government... in front of the whole world!

Not only would it make Republicans the majority in the Senate, it would also single-handedly make Kamala Harris irrelevant for the rest of her term.
