Jim Clyburn On Joe Manchin: 'How Would He Have Me Compromise' On Voting Rights?

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), the third-highest ranking member of Democratic Party leadership in the House, isn’t done taking aim at Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) over his position on federal legislation to protect voting rights.

Clyburn on Friday questioned Manchin’s stated reason for doubling down on bipartisan congressional cooperation, which the pivotal moderate Democrat detailed in an interview with CNN.

“Jan. 6 changed me,” Manchin said in the interview, referring to the bloody Capitol riot fueled by Republican lies about the 2020 presidential election. “I never thought in my life, I never read in history books to where our form of government had been attacked, at our seat of government, which is Washington, D.C., at our Capitol, by our own people.”

He continued: “So, something told me, ‘Wait a minute. Pause. Hit the pause button.’ Something’s wrong. You can’t have this many people split to where they want to go to war with each other.”

Oh come on Joe. You know why West Virginia split away from the state of Virginia.

What 1/6 meant was Republicans aren't dealing with reality. How are you going to compromise with them? What is shows is the Democratic Party has to do is save the country from Republicans. Assbite.
