Manchin To Harris - Piss Off
Unlike Republicans, Democrats aren't easily rolled.
Some Democrats...and some Republicans. This new crop of Republican military vets is looking good thus far. | [NY Post] - Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin slammed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of her meeting with a group of Senate Republicans Monday on passing bipartisan COVID-19 relief.
Manchin (D-WV) denounced Harris for appearing on local TV stations in West Virginia and Arizona last week in what was effectively a targeted pressure campaign on senators from those states to support the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion relief package.
Speaking to local station WSAZ on Friday, the same outlet where Harris urged West Virginia’s lawmakers to back their coronavirus legislation, Manchin argued that the vice president’s interview went against Biden’s message of unity.
"I saw [the interview], I couldn’t believe it. No one called me. We’re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward, I think we need to," the self-proclaimed conservative Democrat said.
"We need to work together. That’s not a way of working together," he continued.
I'm pretty sure she's made her mind up already, Joe.
