Rep. Cori Bush attacked fellow Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin for opposing the Biden administration’s massively expensive budget deal.
“Senator Manchin must support the Build Back Better Act,” the Missouri Squad member tweeted on Monday. “I do not trust his assessment of what our communities need the most.”
Manchin said he couldn’t endorse the $1.75 trillion spending plan until it’s clear how the bills’ passage will affect the national deficit and already skyrocketing inflation.
“Simply put, I will not support a bill that is this consequential without thoroughly understanding the impact that it’ll have on our national debt, our economy, and most importantly all of our American people,” Manchin commented on Monday.
“Joe Manchin’s opposition to the Build Back Better Act is anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant. When we talk about transformative change, we are talking about a bill that will benefit Black, brown and Indigenous communities,” Bush lashed out later in the day.
“Those same communities are overwhelmingly excluded from the bipartisan infrastructure bill. We cannot leave anyone behind,” she continued. “Senator Manchin must support the Build Back Better Act.”
And without his support, the spending plan won’t pass. The Democrats have 50 votes in the Senate, and Manchin’s is required for the measure to succeed. His party is currently keeping the bipartisan infrastructure bill he negotiated captive, until they’re sure the Build Back Better plan will get enough support to pass.
“Holding this bill hostage is not going to work in getting my support for the reconciliation bill,” Manchin said of the coordinated Democratic effort. “This is not how the United States Congress should operate or in my view has operated in the past, the political games have to stop.”
Despite his remarks, White House press secretary Jen Psaki thinks Manchin can be won over.
“Experts agree: Seventeen Nobel Prize-winning economists have said it will reduce inflation,” she stated in response to the West Virginia senator’s remarks. “As a result, we remain confident that the plan will gain Sen. Manchin’s support.”
No way any one in their right mind would support this bill. Hold your line on this one!!
This ridiculous bill being pushed by lying,phony,egotistical,narcisis,slo,joe will bankrupt our country,indebt our kids and grandkids with debt they can’t recover from. It will make inflation go through the roof,that we can’t afford, every thing hidenbiden says is nothing but a stone cold lie.He can’t be trusted, because he i nothing but a traitor to the American people.
The leftists cabal behind demented puppet Biden, starting with George Soros, Barack, Susan Rice, J. Kerry, Bill Ayers, these people are all globalists wanted this country to turn to Socialist, Communist nation.!!!
Wonder how much time and effort she puts into ending the slavery and killings going on around the world…..thinking non…gotta get her nails done
Cori Bush is one of the stupidest humans alive!!!!
Maxine big mouth and the gaggle of four might give her a run for the money and title of stupidist!
all demorats are
I think sites like this have to stop criticizing jackasses like Bush. Build them up, tell them they are doing a great job and never stop running their mouths. Give them time and they will totally destroy themselves from within. Start naming streets in Portland and also in Fat Samsdisco after Maxine Waters, Cory Bush etc. and tell them how great they are. By 2024 there won’t be enough supporters left to vote in anybody except maybe in Seattle and Portland.
The problem with your suggestion is that they will destroy the country while they are at it.
Cori Bush is out there screaming again to get another 3 minutes of fame. She doesn’t even know what is in the bill, she doesn’t care about what the average American people want and need, just wants to be seen! She is pitiful and the biggest fake!
I’m sure there are too many big words in the bills for Cori to read with comprehension and the staggering math would make her head spin. However, do not underestimate the power of fools in this dangerous climate. Also there are too many cowards in government. They wring their hands and complain as freedom slips away but no one comes forward with a plan to save the Republic. Will victory in Virginia be repeated all over the land? Only if we work really hard for it.
Amen! Cori is a BLM activist with her only goal being famous and putting money in her pocket. Like all lying POS democrats she isn’t for the USA she is a socialist ingrate. If people who voted for her think she is in congress to do work for them they are sadly mistaken. Get smart and kick her out of congress now!
The insane “Gimmydat’s” just want more welfare. What they don’t understand (or don’t care) is that the politicians are the ones getting rich
Stop with the race and gender cards. Concentrate on yourselves and doing the best you can do. It has nothing to do with society’s constraints. Jealousy is a waste of time and energy. Nothing is stopping these people from using their talents to make a life for themselves.
cotton patch n
Rebutting Cori Bush’s T-shirt message, the fact is 89 percent of blacks were killed by blacks and only 8 percent by whites. And 80 percent of whites were killed by whites while only 16 percent were killed by blacks. These key numbers are based on FBI data.
So after these kind of attacks will he still hold the line or will he get a better offer (under the table) and fold. Time will tell, but his past indicates otherwise. Sad to say.
My fact based rebuttal to the T-shirt was censored. If TTN doesn’t find a fair algorithm to censor Trump’s loyal supporters, I plan to unsubscribe. I already refuse to donate until they stop censoring us.
And to think, she was elected by Americans.
Oh, bullshit! Wanna know what ELSE will curb inflation?
THE GOD FORSAKEN CONGRESS TO STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DON’T HAVE FROM A FEDERAL RESERVE THAT PRINTS IT OUT OF THIN AIR WITH NOTHING BACKING IT.!!!That is what caused this mess in the first place.
And i don’t wanna hear ” benefits to the black brown and indigenous” either! If it will not benefit whites and ALL OTHERS AS WELL, then this is a racially targeted bill.
Cory Bush is just scated she may have to start paying for her OWN security instead of mooching it off the taxpayers. What a beef whistle…
Cori Bush and her friends in the Squad are a bunch of nut jobs.
CORI……..DID YOU EVER “STOP” TO THINK THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS…..”DO NOT LIKE YOUR COMMUNISM”!!!!!??????? THESE PROPOSED BILLS……WILL BANKRUPT AMERICA!!!!!!!! GET A LIFE AND GET OUT OF POLITICS!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Mancion is absolutely not. However he is more pro American than she will ever be!!!!Sheh should move to a communist country.
Do dopey Democrats ever have any argument except for those who oppose them must be “racist” or “sexist”. What a sick bunch. As a former Democrat, non-white female, I can say that the most racist folks are Democrats. A few like Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema are still trying to have some common sense, but the rest are too far gone. They all need to be voted out of office.
Manchin just needs to ignore this ignorant, low-IQ fool, She is emblematic of everything wrong with this country.
Joe Manchin, hold the line, Do not cave to radicals with lots of wind and no substance. She is a trouble maker. Change to Conservative. I have a feeling joe is not happy with radicalism.
