to portray half the Democrats in congress as as conservative as Manchin.

Now, Jim Clyburn is a "moderate liberal" or "moderate Democrat" in the middle of the very large main (liberal) bloc . Not at the right edge of the party like Manchin.

Clyburn: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/james_clyburn/400075
