Joe Manchin pretends to be bipartisan, but when it really counts he will always take the side of Washington Democrats like Chuck Schumer. And the Trump-Pence administration is taking notice.
In his remarks on the Republican tax cuts in West Virginia today, Vice President Mike Pence called out Manchin for not standing up for West Virginia. Some key quotes from the speech and accompanying Tweetstorm:
“When it came to cutting your taxes, Joe Voted No.”
“Joe Voted No on tax cuts for job creators, and on expanding the child tax credit, giving you your first $24,000 in income tax-free.”
“When the time came to repeal and replace the disaster of Obamacare, Joe Voted No.”
“When we empowered West Virginia to defund Planned Parenthood, Joe Voted No.”
“And when it comes to that wall that we’re gonna build on the southern border, Joe said, quote, ‘Well I’m not voting for the wall either.”
