Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Monday dared angry Democrats to “push” him out of the party after he effectively ended President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda by announcing his opposition on Fox News.
The White House and House progressives reacted by suggesting that Manchin breached his promise to work on legislation in good faith.
The West Virginia senator responded to his Democratic critics during an interview with MetroNews on Monday. Portions of the interview were posted online by Politico’s Burgess Everett.
Manchin said that he “just got to the wit’s end and they know the real reason” negotiations fell apart. He said that the White House “put some things out that are inexcusable. And they know what it is.”
Manchin also left the door open for being “pushed” out of the Democratic Party.
“I would like hope that Democrats feel like I do,” he said of having a place in the party. “If there are no Democrats like that, they ought to push me where they want me.”
Lets be clear, this is an empty threat to try to scare the Democrats. Manchin voted twice to impeach tRump. They may let him in just to take control, but they won’t ever give him any power, no committee chairmanships, and no help running again. He has nearly burnt all of his bridges down and if he took this last step he would lose what little he has left of power. Think of it, right now no one will trust him in policy making, deal making again. He will have to show his cards every time or they cut him out. He is the peacock right now, but as a Republican he has no power and no one listening to him. He is drunk on his own Kool Aid and thinks he is special. Turns out he is just a bigger asshole than I thought. Scottie

He’s a dick head, not an asshole. Asshole is too nice a word for this fuck head.
