Far-left congresswoman Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez had something of a meltdown soon after the news of Senator Joe Manchin’s decision to vote ‘no’ on the proposed ‘Build Back Better’ legislation broke on Sunday.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed Democrat leadership after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced that he could not vote for President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act.
“People can be mad at Manchin all they want, but we knew he would do this months ago,” she said. “Where we need answers from are the leaders who promised a path on [Build Back Better] if [the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework] passed: Biden & Dem leaders. *They* chose to move BIF alone instead of w/ BBB, not Manchin. So they need to fix it.”
Manchin’s announcement dooms Democrats’ chances of passing the multi-trillion social spending bill, which experts say will add to the national debt, despite the Biden administration’s repeated claim that it would cost nothing.
“I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there,” Manchin told Fox News anchor Bret Baier Sunday morning. “This is a no on this legislation. I have tried everything I know to do. And the president has worked diligently. He’s been wonderful to work with. He knows I’ve had concerns and the problems I’ve had and, you know, the thing that we should all be directing our attention towards, the variant, a COVID that we have coming back at us in so many different aspects in different ways, it’s affecting our lives again.”
Either way, we cannot accept no for an answer. Dem leadership – incl but not limited to the President himself and House Dem leadership – wrote a massive check on their credibility the night of the BIF vote in order to secure the votes they needed, *promising* passage of BBB…

AOC’s lament mirrored the attitude of many Democrats, who view Manchin’s decision to torpedo what would have been the Biden’s Administration’s signature legislative accomplishment as an act of political treason.
See BBB for 2026???
I heard about and I’ve made such great money.KJH It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless.
Here’s what I do… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝟎𝟏.𝐓𝐤
“AOC has Meltdown After Manchin Kills ‘Build Back Better,’ Claims ‘We Cannot Accept No for An Answer’. “
aoc, we the people cannot accept you as a member of congress. There are many stupid voters in New York.
Good response, Vinnie!
Excellent response . My exact same thoughts . Of course there are many stupid voters about but that said , were she to win by a mere vote , it would be called a landslide .
Dead people might be buried as republicans but they are resurrected to vote democrat
Same applies to California!
Have to totally agree with that one
left NY due to politics even if that state is beautiful
the politics stink there
sad, really sad
These idiots in the Squad fail to realize if the Infrastructure bill and BBB was combined, like they wanted, the combined bill would have never passed. They should be happy with what they got. I’m not.
If she can’t accept a “No” answer, how about a “H**l NO!” answer?
Sen Manchin I thank you for your love of this country and it’s people. You are the only Democrat I would ever vote for. When I left the Democrat party I said I would never vote for another Democrat for any federal office. As far as AOC I think she should return to Puerto Rico and stay there, or learn from Sen Manchin how to consider what’s good for the USA and it’s citizens.
Once again it is clear that this twit and her fellow twits do not give a damn about what America wants. As usual, it is their standard “our way or the highway” BS, and that is getting really old. When a dimwit bartender thinks she can dictate policy affecting 330 million of us we know how far we have fallen as a once proud nation.
Dimwit is very generous of you.
Poor disappointed socialist. Thank goodness someone has a brain in the Democratic Party.
God Bless Joe Manchin for standing his ground on the facts. His backbone just saved America from a continuing headache at the hands of the blissfully mindless democrats.
I would really like to see a complete breakdown of what is in the bill. If they really believe that this is what the American people want, put the bill out for public review. My thought is that nearly 100% of republicans, 80% of Independents, and at least 50% of Democrats would be against the bill if they saw what is in it.
For some inexplicable reason this half-wit believes that her opinion is actually important. I still believe her original nomination was the result of a practical joke played by her drunken customers at the bar, thinking it would be a hilarious prank.
BBB=Braindead Biden Bullsh*t!
AOC=Absolutely Obtuse Cortez!
Haha, that’s a good one. I always say BBB= Biden’s Bankrupt Better
AOC=Annoying Occasional Cortex
It’s surprising that Mr. Manchin used his brain and studied all the Ins and outs of the BBB And decided it was a horrible bill for his state and the deficit of our government. AOC wise up not all politician are like you liberals and if one jumps over a cliff you all follow. So refreshing to see someone stand up to you band of sheep!!
Senator Machin is the only one in the DIM party using his brain. America cannot afford the price tag on Hiden Biden’s so called BBB legislation.
i side with manchin!
Democracy kicks her butt, doesn’t it?
i’m glad we have a senator like mr manchin to vote against this rediculous spending bill that we all know is going to cost a ton. we know there is no such thing a spending bill costing us nothing. actually there are a ton of idiots in this country who voted for brandon and all of his bunch of morons running this country right now. LETS GO BRANDON to all off the leftist idiots in this country!!!
“YES” you will accept NO for an answer, AND YOU WILL! That is your job description.
Now you know how everyone else feels when you and your lunatic, radical lunies try to stop REAL progress in Congress. YOU are the outlyer.
If Commie AOC, terrorist Omar, terrorist Tlaib, racist Pressley, AKA “The Squat,” along with Commie Bernie, are having a meltdown, then it’s a Very Merry Christmas.
Hey ! AOC , Not everybody supports destroying our Country ! Just Cause you and the rest of the Hell Patrol believe your above the American People and their freedom.. I have one thing to say to you this beautiful Christmas eve..
Slither your way back to “HELL” and take the Hell Patrol with you.. Go Trump !!!
Thank you Senator Manchin .
Sen. Manchin. I hate spellcheck!
Nobody wants Joe’s Build iBiden’s Bank account scheme or your communist ideas, it’s not your country it belongs to the people and you’re not one of us
Now I know why she wants everyone else to pay her student loan debt. She obviously
didn’t learn anything, so we should pay for her waste of time.
JUST WHO IN THE HELL DOES THIS “EX BAR RAG ” THINK SHE IS? SHE WANTS TO BANKRUPT THE COUNTRY, DEFUND THE POLICE SO HER FRIENDS, THUGS , CAN RUN RAMPERT OVER THE LAND, IN CHASTIZING JOE MANCHIN FOR BEING REALISTIC ON THE COUNTRY’S FINANCES! SHE NEEDS CENSORED AND BOOTED OUT OF CONGRESS!
Shes an ignorant dumbass
AOC NO means NO get it bimbo?
AOC, do what most Americans can do. When they buy something, they pay for it, If they take out a student loan, they pay for it, not the taxpayers. Your a big girl now, now act like it. Pay your own bills.
There is a reason the symbol of the democrats is an ass.
we don’t need people like her in this country let alone in congress
AOC if you knew this would happen then why aren’t you blaming yourself for separating the bills?
