Manchin slams ‘17 educated idiots’ that were advising Biden during COVID
Fox News
Independent West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said that President Biden had a blind spot to inflation, something he tried warn the president about early in 2021.
"I warned of that, and I got criticized, as you recall, they told me they had 17 Nobel laureates," Manchin said, later arguing that they were "17 educated idiots" that were telling Biden "what you want to hear because you paid them."

Manchin, who in the early days of Biden’s administration was still part of the Democratic Party, played a critical role in determining how much of the new president’s agenda would make its way through the Senate.
