Cori Bush: Manchin opposition to Build Back Better is 'anti-Black'
Fox News
Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., a member of the left-wing House "Squad" who supports efforts to defund the police, released a statement Monday chastising Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va, for the lack of support he has given President Biden's Build Back Better Act, saying his unwillingness to support the legislation is "anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant."
The freshman Missouri congresswoman also said that Manchin "does not get to dictate the future of our country" and that she does not "trust his assessment of what our communities need the most."
"I trust the parents in my district who can't get to their shift without childcare," Bush said. "I trust the scientists who have shown us what our future will look like if we fail to meaningfully address the climate crisis. I trust the patients and doctors crying out for comprehensive health coverage for every person in America."
