Don’t Jump Into Mitch McConnell’s ‘Lifeboat’, Joe Manchin

Don’t do it, Senator Joe Manchin. Don’t jump into the GOP lifeboat piloted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, that is. Out in turbulent waters, McConnell’s is a leaky old boat. “On Monday, McConnell appeared on "The Guy Benson Show" podcast to discuss Manchin’s recent announcement that he would vote "no" on President Biden’s Build Back Better plan in the Senate, effectively ending its chances of being passed.(Fox News, Dec. 20, 2021

This Christmas would be a lot Merrier if Covid-19 variant Omicron wasn’t out there trying to swallow it whole

"I would imagine that your Christmas got a little bit merrier yesterday around 9:30, 9 a.m. Eastern time when your Democratic colleague Joe Manchin of West Virginia appeared on ‘Fox News Sunday’ with Bret Baier and announced that he’s a no on Build Back Better," Benson opened.”

This Christmas would be a lot Merrier if Covid-19 variant Omicron wasn’t out there trying to swallow it whole.

“Benson asked whether McConnell had an "inkling" of Manchin’s vote prior to his announcement. McConnell admitted that he didn’t know how Manchin would vote but called it "the single greatest favor" Manchin could give to the country. (Fox News) "Not an inkling, but I hoped. Ironically, my wrap-up press conference at the end of the session last Thursday, I said the single greatest favor Joe Manchin could give the country is to kill this bill. That’s what the country needs, to see this bill killed. It is absolutely inappropriate and unnecessary at a time when we’re fighting inflation," McConnell said.”

So much bunk that could be junked by asking McConnell, flat out: “What have YOUdone for your country lately?”

Manchin’s status as a moderate has put him at odds with his own party

McConnell: ”It was an exciting thing to hear," he added. "It was a great shot in the arm for the country. I think it’s exactly what the country needed at this particular time.” (Fox News) “Benson also asked McConnell for his opinion on the reaction from his Democrat colleagues and the White House in regard to Manchin's vote. "I was shocked at the vitriol," McConnell added. "And basically it seemed to me that they were calling Sen. Manchin a liar. I think that was not smart. This is a 50/50 Senate. It’s going to be 50/50 for another year, and believe me, this is not how I would handle a disappointing vote like that.” “He remarked that Manchin’s status as a moderate has put him at odds with his own party and added that he would "certainly welcome" Manchin to join the Republicans. "He doesn’t fit well over there, but that is a decision ultimately that he has to make. We certainly welcome him to join us if he was so inclined," McConnell said.

Don’t trust McConnell, Senator Joe Manchin, he turned on his own leader

“Benson then asked if the defeat of the Build Back Better plan could lead to a Republican majority in Congress in 2023. McConnell admitted that he’s feeling more optimistic after this potential defeat. "The American people have seen what true liberalism looks like. Actually, I’d say more accurately what socialism looks like, and we’re headed toward a very significant midterm election next year. And we should, in all likelihood, flip both the House and the Senate to the Republican Party," McConnell said. "They’re in very, very tough shape, politically. I don’t see how that gets much better. No one thinks inflation is not going to still be a huge issue. We’re having a difficulty getting people back to work," he added. "Look, the Senate is still going to be close, but I think the atmosphere in which all of our races are going to be run is even dramatically better than the last time you and I spoke.”

Don’t trust McConnell, Senator Joe Manchin, he turned on his own leader and is proving day by day that there is little substantial difference between the Democrats and McConnell’s GOP.

Float your own boat, Senator Joe and sail it straight past the rickety wobbly craft of turncoat Mitch McConnell!

Stay the course. Fight for what’s right, tooth and nail. Fight off your own party, which welcomed in the Bernie Sanders—led, so-called ‘Squad’ to demonize Dem moderates, which forever ruined the Democrat Party. And should you cave in to the pressure by changing your mind on Biden’s destructive Build Back Better agenda, that would make you as wobbly as Mitch McConnell. You would then be destined to carry the stigma of ‘The Mitch McConnell of Moderate Democrats’ for the rest of your days in office. Float your own boat, Senator Joe and sail it straight past the rickety wobbly craft of turncoat Mitch McConnell!
