Officially, Sen. Joe Manchin is now without the mask. Once lauded as a moderate who could be trusted to keep his word, he decided to instead stab Republicans in the back to make a “climate change” deal with the far-left of his party. After pledging not to pass any boondoggle spending bills that would increase inflation, he did so.
If that wasn’t bad enough, a report then detailed that Manchin changed his mind to appease the very people leftwing lunatics who have been harassing and threatening him while accusing him of being bought off by the coal industry. At the urging of Sen. Chris Coons, Manchin lavished in the opportunity to hit a “homer” in the bottom of the ninth them.
To put it simply, the senator showed he’s a coward who wants to have it both ways, playing principled moderate for his constituents to get reelected while continuously folding to Washington-based politics on the issues that matter. Manchin continued his cowardice on Sunday, when he was asked a difficult question about Joe Biden.

As a politician, this man is just plain stupid. I’m sure he’s a nice guy personally, but his attempts to constantly play both sides are no longer fooling anyone. He wants to make $400 billion “climate change” deals while raising taxes on people making over $30,000 a year. Then he wants to be able to obfuscate about something as simple as his own party’s president running for reelection so he can go back to West Virginia to proclaim his independence.
Yeah, that’s not how any of this works. Manchin’s clown nose on, clown nose has grown old, and probably no more so than to those who stuck their neck out to vote for him in the reddest state in the union. He can’t pretend to be so severely moderate that he won’t even commit to supporting Joe Biden while then going off to betray his constituents, many of which rely on the fossil fuel industry, to please the Bernie bros.
The game is over. Manchin is now seen for who he truly is, and all Republicans in Washington should be held responsible. Manchin has been protected by the GOP, which ensured his reelection far too often. It’s time to let him enjoy his new friends on the far left. Let’s see how they treat him over the long haul. And when Manchin realizes what a mistake he’s made sometime in 2024, just in time for the election, not a single Republican should be there to lend him a hand or any credibility. Let him burn.
