not going to enter into your marathon manchin defense, but...
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin came under fire Saturday after The Washington Post reported that the West Virginia Democrat “does not currently support” passing even his own recent $1.8 trillion counteroffer to President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.
“Sen. Manchin is operating in bad faith,” tweeted Nida Allam
sounds to me like going back on his counter offer wasted a lot of people's time and his credibility. calling everyone else a liar except him is kind of disingenuous.
