Turns out not so much and it’s where he lives in DC…a floating 700K house…in DC.

What’s the fuss about that??

“That document, a memorandum of sale from 2014, said the purchase price for the vessel was $220,000. The document says that Manchin purchased the boat from M&T Bank, with National Liquidators as the broker of the sale.

Independent experts we contacted were unable to explain the difference in the two dollar figures, beyond speculating that the vessel was purchased from a seller eager to get rid of it and later insured at the boat’s market value.”

Details are SO bad for knee jerk rage, am I right?

So some boat social media has turned into a yacht…lol.

Social media news…sucks.
