Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia single-handedly dealt the fatal blow to President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act, stopping the $1.75 trillion tax and spending plan. Manchin went on Fox News to explain why he voted against it saying, “I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there. This is a no on this piece of legislation. I have tried everything I know to do.”
Now, the Democrats are gunning hard for Manchin after his decision, and honestly, acting a tad bit childish. They’ve been saying expletives on television, calling Manchin every name in the book, and even labeling him a “traitor”.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think this is the best way to build a team. Which is what the Democrats and Republicans are, a team. This isn’t leadership and would be like a quarterback yelling at and disparaging his own team for a missed block or a dropped ball. A real leader puts it on themselves, and moves forward, bringing the team together.

White House Press Secretary claimed that weeks ago Manchin gave the President his world while at his home in Wilmington. She added that they would continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position. “The fight for Build Back Better is too important to give up. We will find a way to move forward next year.”
Meanwhile, AOC has gone on MSNBC among other networks saying that it was an egregious breach of the trust of the President. “Of course we have every right to be furious with Manchin,” she said while going off about his lack of committment.
However, perhaps the worst fit we saw over the decision was Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar swore during an interview calling the situation, “bulls–t”.

They sound like upset children and are throwing fits about it. And we know this would happen/has happened on the other side, but this is pathetic. Instead of throwing fits and cursing on television, why not work together to bolster your side and head back out and try again?
