(Rallying Patriots) – You cannot be a Democrat in Congress and care about the will of the people who elected you to represent them. Any Democrat who dares buck against the party’s group-think and cult mentality and refuses to blindly subscribe to the radical left’s theology is immediately made into a pariah.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is a unicorn. He’s a Democrat but he genuinely cares about America and his constituents. Unlike the entire rest of his party, he’s not willing to get on board with the left’s radical anti-American agenda just to be part of the team.
On Sunday, Manchin announced he would not be voting for Joe Biden’s outrageously progressive Build Back Better bill which comes with a hefty $5 trillion price tag.
This, of course, left Democrats in full-blown meltdown mode with the Biden regime claiming Manchin’s announcement “blindsided” them.
“NEWS: White House feels blindsided by @Sen_JoeManchin’s decision that he’s a “no” on Build Back Better.
Just days ago, Manchin personally handed @POTUS a $1.8 trillion plan he would support, I’m told.
In interview with @BretBaier today, Manchin said ‘I can’t get there.’”

White House mouthpiece Jen Psaki released a statement slamming Manchin, saying, “If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.”
“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.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), charged with quarterbacking the bill’s massive multi-trillion dollar budget, accused Manchin of lacking the “guts” to stand up to “powerful special interests.”

Far-left “Squad” leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) criticized the Democrat leadership for not listening to her about passing Build Back Better and the infrastructure bill together.
“When a handful of us in the House warned this would happen if Dem leaders gave Manchin everything he wanted 1st by moving BIF before BBB instead of passing together, many ridiculed our position. Maybe they’ll believe us next time. Or maybe people will just keep calling us naïve,” she tweeted Sunday.
Isn’t she just so smart? She sure thinks she is.

The rest of the radical squad jumped on board as well with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), one of the most vocal of the Squad, calling Manchin’s decision “bullshit.”

Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) similarly slammed Manchin.
Joe Manchin pretends to have a problem with the cost of a $1.75T investment over 10 years in the American people, but has no problem with giving $9T to weapons makers and the military. https://t.co/RHyOem75M6

Progressive Dem @AyannaPressley: “To be clear, my lack & deficit of trust was about Sen Manchin. He has continued to move the goalposts… he is obstructing the president’s agenda.”
“All I want for Christmas is a Senator that has compassion for the American people, not contempt”

The Grinch just stole Christmas for many and don’t expect any last minute Dr. Seuss happy ending. After 6 months of talking and talking, Joe Manchin finally made it unequivocal, on Fox News, of course, he’s with the Republicans. He is “NO” on #BuildBackBetter. What an outrage!

These leftists are batsh*t crazy. Manchin is the only true American among the den of wolves that is now the Democratic Party. He is the only one who actually cares about the people who voted for him and he’s the only one who isn’t afraid to stand up to their radical agenda and put his foot down.
Manchin is literally standing in the gap and for that we should all be thankful.
