Hahahaha. After backstabbing Biden and the Democratic agenda for the past two years, all too often doing the Republicans bidding in the Senate how does McConnell and Republican Party reward him?

They get even more demanding — and kind of nasty while doing so. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has this 30 second ad up called “Maserati Manchin” putting pressure on his constituency to remind him of “West Virginia values” which I can only assume means they want him to be even more of an obstruction.

But dragging him for his 700k yacht surely isn’t the payback he expected for his service. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy. Lol

He served them well but they'd rather have a real Republican in a dark red state.

I wouldn’t say life was THAT good when everyone in your own party sees you as an obstructionist and the other party just stuck a knife in your back.

I mean, money isn’t everything.

Manchin voted to give Democrats control of the Senate, voted to impeach Trump, and supported almost all Democratic initiatives. He's an actual Democrat; just not as liberal as you'd like.

So much for not bashing leading Democratic figures.
