Manchin's excuses just keep coming, [View all]

He at every turn uses excuse after excuse to water down, stall, and block key Biden agenda legislation hurting millions of people in his state, and Americans around the country . He claims one thing after another not accepting facts, while making up excuses for his actions , and voting against transformative legislation that would change the lives of millions, and at a time we need this the most. This is the perfect time this should be passed , and while the interest rate to pay for it is so low, and his being a business man knows this, so his intent doing this is in question.
Has he found another source of revenue for himself from the GOP from his actions, or is he compromised and being threatened to continue his tactics? Dems need to get a few real Republicans to vote for Biden's BBB plan, taking away Manchin's repeated tactics preventing meaningful legislation passage to undermine his being able to do this. I think he is a fraud myself, and there's a monetary reason he's doing this , and the truth coming out will expose him. I'm done with his excuses, and people in his state should show him they are too, or this will get worse from him and others.
