” I don’t say this lightly, but under the leadership of President Obama and Majority Leader Harry Reid, and later President Biden and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Democrats have systematically tried to weaken the very guardrails that have protected our democracy for generations — all in the name of advancing their agenda.Manchin was a perennial thorn in the side of Democratic leaders throughout his 14 years in the Senate. He stifled the party’s agenda on multiple fronts, especially during the Biden administration when Democrats had a 50-50 Senate majority.
The former pol has some choice words for Biden, including that the former president had “a very bad temper.” Manchin recalled that he once called Biden “reckless” to his face over the American Rescue Plan negotiations, telling Biden that he was “sending a fucking check to everyone.”
But Manchin also expressed some regret over key issues, including his initial opposition to Obamacare when he was serving as governor of West Virginia.
Manchin slams “woke” Dems. Manchin spends a considerable amount of time criticizing the Democratic Party for its ideological shift during the last 10 to 15 years.
The party was “once a big tent that welcomed diverse perspectives” but “has increasingly shifted toward ideological purity tests,” he writes.
“When the party pushes hard on woke ideology, DEI mandates, and other social agendas, it creates unnecessary divisions, alienates everyday citizens, and moves us further away from the commonsense middle ground where most Americans actually live their lives,” Manchin said.
