Tell us how you really feel, Ilhan Omar:
Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bullshit. The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans.
This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure. https://t.co/dhzcSk0qUV

And all the people who lost their s*it over our side shouting “Let’s go, Brandon!” will certainly call her out, right? RIGHT?

Omar also said Manchin’s refusal to vote “yes” on the BBB bill is putting the U.S. democracy at risk:
This is so much bigger than Manchin.
When democracies are no longer able to address their constituents’ needs and demands, authoritarians seize power. I’ve seen it time and time again.
And ours was already on life support.

Boy, we just don’t know why people in West Virginia won’t support progressives. It’s a real mystery:
West Virginia is
50th in public health
50th in childcare
48th in employmentThey support Build Back Better by a 43 point margin.
This has nothing to do with his constituents. This is about the corruption and self-interest of a coal baron.
