Joe Manchin’s decision to fell Biden’s Build Back Better Plan has led the MSM into war mode as they seek to assist the DNC in making Manchin pay for his treason to the party, which, to the DNC, is everything.
Here is how the MSM on the left and the right are reporting on the news that Manchin is nixing the BBB as well as the stories now following Manchin since he made this announcement.

In a move that has the Biden White House coming very, very close to labeling him a liar, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin appeared on Fox News today to give what appeared to be a final shooting-down of Joe Biden’s ambitious domestic agenda, known as “Build Back Better.” “I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there. This is a no,” Manchin told Fox.
Manchin’s new stance appears to have taken the White House by complete surprise. They quickly released a scathing statement calling Manchin out.
“Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances,” writes Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged…
There’s an old Appalachian Christmas tradition in which children throw their wish lists into a fireplace in hopes fairies will bring the embers to Santa Claus. President Joe Biden may want to consider giving it a try after Senator Joe Manchin’s Sunday morning announcement that he’s gifting the White House a lump of West Virginia coal for Christmas: a “no” vote on the multitrillion-dollar “Build Back Better” plan. Not a year into his presidency, Biden’s domestic agenda is dead.
Manchin told Fox News, where he broke the news, that he “tried everything humanly possible” to get to “yes” on the legislation, but Biden wouldn’t take his eminently reasonable advice to spend less money at a time of skyrocketing inflation. The White House released an obnoxious, and obnoxiously long, statement shortly after Manchin’s Fox appearance, accusing him of reneging on his word. Such a temper tantrum is not what one expects with the self-proclaimed adults in charge.
Now that Joe Manchin has put the final nail in the coffin of the Democrats’ utopian scam, laughably misnomered “Build Back Better,” and the worst hissy fits have been hissed, Nancy Pelosi vowed late Sunday evening to revive the stinking carcass, slap some lipstick on it, and give it another shot. ASAP.
Once Manchin got infrastructure passed Build Back Better was doomed, even if Pelosi couldn’t admit it. https://t.co/xJy494n4D4
“Dose of optimism”? No. Not even close. Act of desperation. Pelosi, while a peevish bitter wench, is not stupid. Far from it. She is fully aware that the Biden presidency is not only on the line; it is on life support.
Go ahead, Jen Psaki. Put out a furious, Biden-approved statement, accusing Joe Manchin of failing to “honor his prior commitments,” of breaking his “promise,” of—not to put too fine a point on it—lying.
Bernie Sanders: enjoy your moment of accusing Manchin of not having the “guts” to stand up to powerful special interests.
And Ilhan Omar, bask in the rosy glow of calling Manchin’s reasons for opposing Build Back Better “bull—-.”
The three of you, and the other Democrats who are lashing out at Manchin, see how you enjoy life with Mitch McConnell back in the Senate Majority-Leader saddle. That was Joe Scarborough’s warning to Democrats on Monday’s Morning Joe:
“I’m sure they were angry, I’m sure they felt betrayed. I’m sure they’re completely exasperated with trying to nail him down…I was taken by those attacks, and attacks by other Democrats, which seem to invite Joe Manchin to become a Republican.”
Joe Manchin on Sunday likely doomed Joe Biden’s massive $2 trillion spending plan and the media reaction was predictably hyperbolic. There were audible gasps on ABC when the news that he would vote no broke.
The New York Times on Monday’s front page accused him of “deserting” the President. Incendiary talk by liberal journalists has been amplified by real-world bullying of Manchin and his fellow moderate Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
So the question must be asked: Do journalists care about the safety of Manchin and Sinema? For the last few months, the two centrists have endured an escalating series of incidents in which leftist protesters follow them, yell in bathrooms, and show up at their homes. What has the response from ABC, CBS and NBC been? They’ve mostly buried the abuse.
From October through November, MRC analysts looked at coverage (or lack of coverage) of bullying against Manchin and Sinema. Here’s what we found.
In a new letter to Senate colleagues, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) fingered Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) as a cause of “deep discontent and frustration” but promised to at least force senators to vote on the record for both reconciliation and voting rights.
“This session has also led to moments of deep discontent and frustration,” he wrote. “That frustration was evident in the past week as nearly all of us were disappointed by the decision to delay floor consideration of the Build Back Better Act because Senator Manchin could not come to an agreement with the president.”
“However, neither that delay, nor other recent pronouncements, will deter us from continuing to try to find a way forward,” he added.
In a Sunday interview that rocked the political world, Manchin appeared on Fox News to announce his opposition to the current version of the reconciliation bill. Manchin cited his usual smorgasbord of factors that have…
Stocks fell on Monday at the start of a holiday-shortened week of trading, with investors considering renewed virus-related restrictions overseas and prospects that a significant social policy bill may be scuttled.
The S&P 500, Dow Nasdaq each dropped more than 1%. Treasury yields fell as investors piled into safe haven assets, and the benchmark 10-year yield held below 1.4%. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, spiked more than 20% to hover above 25.
U.S. crude oil prices sank 3% to trade below $69 per barrel as restrictions mounted in Europe, stoking jitters around energy demand. Countries from Germany to Ireland imposed curfews or travel restrictions in recent days given the rapidly spreading new variant. And the Netherlands over the weekend announced a nationwide lockdown of non-essential stores, bars and restaurants until Jan. 14. As of this weekend, the Omicron variant had been reported in about 89 countries, with cases doubling every 1.5 to 3 days.
Renewed fears over the…
Senator Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) hit back at Democrats, saying they had miscalculated in their efforts to court his vote on the Build Back Better plan, a landmark social spending bill that appears to have died in the Senate since he withdrew himself from negotiations.
“They figured surely to God we can move one person. We surely can badger and beat one person up. Surely we can get enough protestors to make that person uncomfortable enough that they’ll just say, ‘OK I’ll vote for anything,’” he said during a radio interview with West Virginia MetroNews’ Hoppy Kercheval.
“Well, guess what? I’m from West Virginia. I’m not from where they’re from and they can just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive, period,” Manchin added.
Manchin did not blame President Joe Biden for the failed negotiations.
“They know the real reason, what happened. … It’s staff-driven. I understand it’s staff. It is…
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) may reportedly become an independent after the Biden administration on Sunday accused the senator of disloyalty.
Following Manchin’s vocal opposition to Biden’s $1.9 trillion Build Back Better bill, the White House accused Manchin of breaching “his commitments to the President.”
The accusation may result in Manchin becoming an independent, though he would still caucus with Democrats, Axios reported.
Manchin is from West Virginia, a red state that Biden lost in 2020 by nearly 40 points.
“I’m from West Virginia,” he said Monday. “I’m not from where they’re [Democrats] from, and they can just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive, period.”
For months Joe Biden tried to work out a deal with Manchin to enact the spending package in the 50/50 split Senate. Manchin maintained throughout the negotiations he opposed major provisions in the package.
In October, leaks indicated Manchin wanted to leave…
