“Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word. In the meantime, Senator Manchin will have to explain to those families paying $1,000 a month for insulin why they need to keep paying that, instead of $35 for that vital medicine. He will have to explain to the nearly two million women who would get the affordable day care they need to return to work why he opposes a plan to get them the help they need. Maybe Senator Manchin can explain to the millions of children who have been lifted out of poverty, in part due to the Child Tax Credit, why he wants to end a program that is helping achieve this milestone—we cannot.”

Statement from Press Secretary Jen Psaki | The White House
I hate him. I hate him so much. Manchin is going to ensure BIden’s agenda fails, he’s going to ensure the Democrats lose the Senate in 2022, and he’s going to flip parties.
I wish he’d just fall into a well and never come out.
