Manchin pans DC statehood bill in another break with Dems

A long-shot bid to pass legislation that would make the District of Columbia the nation’s 51st state got a little longer on Friday.

Still, such a tactic would require total Democratic unity, and Friday’s radio interview with Manchin demonstrated anew that they don’t have it. “Every legal scholar has told us that, so why not do it the right way and let the people vote and see if they want a change,” Manchin said.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Manchin talks a big game to get positive press in West Virginia but at the end of the day he always falls in line with the other Democratic political turds.💩FootlongShow

Is he becoming lost and can't be found

Give it to Maryland. Problem solved. Except for Maryland.

Good. Manchin is a stand up guy. One party control is never good. Look at california. Highest taxes, lowest quality of living. Crime homelesness and crazy housing and gas prices. This state has been controlled primarily by democrats for decades. They own the mess.

DINO

Sen_JoeManchin is just a useless piece if shit

Manchin = DINO

He sucks!

Makes sense, if the claim is that the people of DC are not properly represented then allocate districts to the surrounding states, not create a 51st states so the Democrats can keep passing stupid policies unrestrained.

Can we please put a truckload of $$$ behind someone to primary this dude. He’s enjoying his position of power waaayyyy too much

As long as McConnell isn’t majority leader I’ll be okay with whatever a Democrat does even when I strongly disagree.

Does he own any horses? Any race horses?

Let’s primary him and replace him with a progressive Democrat in 2024.

A man who represents 1.8 million people in West Virginia - calling the shots. Just LA County has 10 million people.

Jeezez Joe. Can't you be with us on anything?

Where has he not broken with Dems?

Midterms.

Asshole

Sen manchin? Nope. Just nope.

Jerkazzzer

Fkn asshole.

Bless this man.

Just flip 2 or 3 seats in 2022, kill the filibuster, let Manchin change parties and move on.

Is he getting kick backs from someone to say no to everything!

Manchin pans DC statehood bill in another break with DemsWASHINGTON (AP) — A long-shot bid to pass legislation that would make the District of Columbia the nation’s 51st state got a little longer on Friday. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said that he opposes unilateral action by Congress to make the nation’s capital a state and that he believes it needs to be done through a constitutional amendment. He said prior Republican and Democratic administrations thought the same thing. “They all came to the same conclusion. If Congress wants to make D.C. a state, it should propose a constitutional amendment,” Manchin said in an interview with the West Virginia MetroNews radio network. “It should propose a constitutional amendment and let the people of America vote.” Time to pull out of West Virginia DC residents. Change the 2nd amendment while you’re at it That man loves his attention. DINO
