Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a potential swing vote in Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation, said Republican senators prevented him from reading the only copy of the full FBI report on the sexual assault allegations leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“Undecided Dem Sen Manchin tells reporters he has been ‘thrown out’ of the room where he’d been reading the only copy of the FBI report because it was the ‘Republicans’ turn’ to read it,” tweeted McClatchy reporter Emma Dumain. “He says he has to come back tomorrow to finish, then will make a decision on Kavanaugh.”

1. Sounds like a middle school, not the Senate.

[YOHABLO]

2. Middle School Bullies.

4. You're a big healthy guy, Joe. Maybe you should stand up to them. Hell, make'm "throw you out".

5. "The Rethugs always grumble, 'fair fight' but if they want to rumble

we'll rumble 'em right"

6. Hey Joe,take the hint,they don't

want you,just your vote.

7. If he was thrown out...

.... while reading it, he better make sure that what he reads tomorrow is the same thing he read the first time. Democrats need to coordinate with the FBI and make sure that what they read is what the FBI wrote. I wouldn't put anything past those bastards.

12. It's not "what the FBI wrote." It's what Dirty Donny*s republican White House "summarized"

* aka republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

14. That's pretty much exactly what I said

Except that when he was reading it the first time had the White House already summarized it? I don't have any doubt the FBI submitted a complete report based on the limited scope of their investigation, and no where did I insinuate otherwise. Any changes or emissions would be solely on the White House, but did they do it before or after the senator read part of it before getting kicked out?

8. That's not how you get a "Yes" vote . . . . .

Joe M. should have been offered blended coffee, a Danish, a cigar and slaps on the back by his new BFF's.

9. Why do they only have 1 copy??

And why is this not available to all Americans?? What is so secretive about this bogus crap??

[disillusioned73]

10. And yet..

he still sits on that fence.. go Dems!!!

[malaise]

11. Thread winner

Not one member of the Democratic Party should vote yes.
Kavanaugh's behavior in the Senate disqualifies him...PERIOD!

[disillusioned73]

13. They don't even need to read that shit "report"..

it's offensive for them to think that a thorough investigation was conducted in... what 3-4 days.. it's all cover, and not just for Republicans - ppl need to wake up to this reality.. & quick
