Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Thursday condemned Senate Republicans for refusing to support a bipartisan bill to establish an independent investigation of the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building.

"There is no excuse for any Republican to vote against this commission since Democrats have agreed to everything they asked for," Manchin said, referring to the bipartisan bill that passed with 35 GOP votes in the House of Representatives. "Mitch McConnell has made this his political position, thinking it will help his 2022 elections. They do not believe the truth will set you free, so they continued to live in fear."

Many of Manchin's Twitter followers, however, were quick to point out that Manchin could end Republican obstruction right now if he would reconsider his vow to preserve the legislative filibuster.

1. Terrible!!

2. If this hasn't happened already, Manchin needs to be called into the Oval Office with

Biden, Harris, Schumer and Jaime Harrison (DNC chair) in attendance. It's time for tough love with that one.

3. And, once again, we ignore that Sinema has an even more extreme position.

She wants 60 votes on *everything*.

We need them both on board. Why do so many, out of complete intentional ignorance, insist otherwise?

5. I don't understand Sinema

Didn't she start out as a member of the Green Party, and as a fairly progressive person?

What on earth happened to her? Doesn't she realize that she has SOME loyalty to the Democrats who got her elected? And why can't she see that there will never be any kind of bipartisanship with this bunch?

7. She's in the same boat as this "guy" she makes $174,000 a year doing what

I need a drink....JFC someone needs to grow the fuck up, this bipartisan BS went out the door in 1984 going forward...in her state right now they are trying and succeeding in stripping the citizens to vote and then having a clown show of a audit, saying that her election could also be fake when she got elected......

4. More minority rule. Manchin's 2% of the population gets to stymie the other 98%.

8. .5% of U.S. is in W.V

Pretty sure Occam has some simple explanation somewhere. I’d start with his donors.
