After learning about Sen. Joe Manchin’s, D-W.Va., plan to vote against President Biden’s Build Back Better plan, liberal media pundits began panicking about the supposed threat to democracy.
"I’ve always said this, Bret: if I can’t go home and explain to the people of West Virginia, I can’t vote for it," Manchin told guest host Bret Baier."And 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."
Liberal media and progressive politicians immediately attacked Manchin for his position, including his colleague, I-Vt., who accused Manchin of being beholden to pharmaceutical companies. Others called the decision"devastating," while ABC’s"This Week" panel showed visual disappointment at the news.

In an appearance on CNN’s"Reliable Sources" journalist Carl Bernstein also implied that Manchin’s vote could drastically affect American democracy in his refusal to eliminate the filibuster rule in the Senate.
