sinema & manchin do a little high fiver--woo hoo--good for them--aren't they special; tweet alert!

After Manchin/Sinema chose to stand w/the GOP & refuse to repeal the filibuster, the child tax credit expired and childhood poverty increased 41%, which meant 3.7 MILLION MORE children were forced into poverty.

But yeah, high fives all around. Horrid.

(and the retweet with video:
Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin—surrounded by billionaire CEOs in Davos—share a high five after agreeing that they won’t reform the Senate filibuster.

She still hasn’t held a town hall for her constituents.

They actually on a stage in a forum next to each other speaking to an audience gave each other a high-five.

It’s simply disgusting.

What the hell are those two even doing there?
