Manchin opposes Neera Tanden for OMB, says her past comments are too toxic.
"I have carefully reviewed Neera Tanden’s public statements and tweets that were personally directed towards my colleagues on both sides of the aisle from Senator Sanders to Senator McConnell and others"

@mkraju
"I believe her overtly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget."

1. Get over it, Joe.

[liskddksil]

2. You're on a team Joe. Be a team player nt

[riversedge]

3. If Biden wants her, that should be good enough for Manchin

5. Exactly.

[Cha]

14. Excellent advice! Rt TY

[mountain grammy]

4. That's crap..

[Walleye]

6. Seems like he was determined to vote against us on something

[Celerity]

18. He is likely just getting warmed up.

'Hell or high water:' Manchin tells Biden he won't back push to skirt Senate rules on relief bill

22. It's obviously a trade off for something

I don't know why people freak out about him. I don't think he's ever actually been a deciding vote on anything.

[Walleye]

24. You may be right. He has leverage, so he uses it

[leftstreet]

29. They probably have a GOPer vote

Murkowski, or maybe more than one

He took heat from progressives for not backing the inclusion of the $15 minimum wage. His no on Tanden is probably meant to mollify

[cwydro]

7. I think you mean "against."

Confusing in this context.

[Bradshaw3]

8. Yet he voted for many of drumpf's odious nominees n/t

[triron]

26. He's a dem in name only.

[hatrack]

9. Whatever, Senator Epipen

He alone among Democrats voted for Sessions as AG and for Mnuchin at Treasury.

He and one other Democrat voted for Pruitt for EPA.

He and two other Democrats voted for Tillerson at State.

So, yeah, fuck off, Joe.

[CentralMass]

19. This.

[Celerity]

20. Only Dem caucus member to vote for that POS Kavanaugh too

10. Bipartisan BS

He seems to champion republicans instead of being a democrat. Republicans didn't give a damn about being bipartisan now they are hollering. They all have said things about democrats yet he defends working with them. Has he done anything to put forward any bills that are aligned with Democratic Party?

[OnDoutside]

11. Disgusting. She's a good Dem.

[Rustyeye77]

12. Can always count on Joe...

to screw things up

[kysrsoze]

13. Are we OK to bash Manchin since he's a DINO? Asking for a friend.

[DURHAM D]

15. She needs a penis, an R after her name and

a history of being a partisan (rightwing) jerk.

[MrScorpio]

16. Somebody needs to tell Joe to stop volunteering to kiss RWNJ ass

[Nikki28]

17. I am sick

of this man. Is it possible he is a plant because he votes for more with the Q party than with the D's. Get over yourself Joe and go back and review what you have passed with the Q party and than let me know which party you want to be.

[FBaggins]

27. How could he be a "plant"?

Wouldn't it be much better for them if he just called himself a republican and gave them back control of the senate?

[Piratedog]

21. Not so sure he's wrong. I wouldn't fall on my sword for her

She made comments in the past. No, they weren’t as toxic as MTG’s comments but might be viewed as playing it both ways if WH insists. Move on—too many more important fights ahead.

[Poiuyt]

23. Mind you, I'm not complaining that he's a Democrat, but have you ever wondered

why he hasn't switched parties?

[Bear Creek]

28. Yes

Pull a Jim Justice. I do think he puts forward republican agenda. He likes money and a few years ago his daughter was caught up in a big pharmaceutical scandal. Everyone mentions about democrats not being in WV. Robert Bryd was elected from there.

[wellst0nev0ter]

25. What's the policy against not supporting fellow democrats again?

[True Dough]

30. Tanden called McConnell "Moscow Mitch"

and said “vampires have more heart than (Senator) Ted Cruz.”


Those are true statements that deserve to be commended, Joe Manchin!
