Manchin rips reporters for filibuster obsession: 'You ask the same question every day'
Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin, W. Va., has grown impatient with reporters over their repeated questions about the filibuster, saying they “ask the same question every day.”
"I’m not separating our country, OK?" Manchin said last week. "I don’t know what you all don’t understand about this. You ask the same question every day. It’s wrong." Manchin holds a unique position in the U.S. Senate as a moderate Democrat from West Virginia, which Republican Donald Trump won in landslides in 2016 and 2020. Perhaps the most significant swing vote in the chamber, Manchin has infuriated progressives with his refusal to eliminate the filibuster, effectively stymying Democratic initiatives like the January 6 Capitol Riot commission.More Related News
