13. Manchin lies about not changing his mind on the talking filibuster.

On March 7 of last year, Manchin stated he would support altering the filibuster rules. He said, "If you want to make it [the filibuster] a little bit more painful, make him stand there and talk. I’m willing to look at any way we can."

Keep digging that hole, Joe. Maybe you'll even find coal.
