Joe Manchin just announced he’s throwing a monkey wrench in the ‘Build Back Better’ boondoggle that Democrats are trying to push through. He says the bill is “fiscal insanity” and said today that he recommends a $1.5 trillion bill instead of a $3.5 trillion behemoth that is loaded with freebies.
“We can’t afford to do this without changing our society to an entitlement mentality.”
Joe Manchin is saying we should take his $1.5T bottom line and take the rest to the ballot box in the midterms.
He doesn’t recognize that we’re in the majority and White House because we already did that. pic.twitter.com/hj8frbNDbG

As Manchin spoke to a GIANT group of reporters, a group of a dozen protesters about 100 yards away yelled, “no reconciliation, no deal! And “Joe Manchin is a traitor! Build Back Better, now not later!”
