Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) appeared in Rep. David McKinley’s (R-WV) primary ad responding to accusations that he supported Joe Biden’s far-left Build Back Better agenda.
Fox News reports:
“I have always said, if I can’t go home and explain it, I can’t vote for it, and that’s why I opposed Build Back Better,” Manchin said in a 30-second spot this weekend.
Manchin went on to defend McKinley against a claim from his primary opponent, Alex Mooney, who accused McKinley of effectively supporting Build Back Better by voting for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
“For Alex Mooney and his out-of-state supporters to suggest David McKinley supported Build Back Better is an outright lie,” the Democrat said. “David McKinley has always opposed reckless spending because it doesn’t make sense for West Virginia.”
“Alex Mooney has proven he’s all about Alex Mooney,” Manchin concluded. “But West Virginians know David McKinley is all about us.”
.@Sen_JoeManchin you flabbergasted me! Making a commercial for 1 of the most ANTI ACA members of Congress is SHOCKING. Build Back Better has provisions to help your WV Constituents with their health care premiums.
Why would you support, David McKinley?🤔https://t.co/FaMwgDG3aE

Mooney and McKinley are both currently sit in the House of Representatives, but West Virginia lost population and therefore lost one seat in Congress.
Nobody wants the go woke go broke policies of dementia jo and giggles the ho!
Manchin a true American we will take him any time
He’s almost a RINO
actually is a much better than a RINO
I know Mr Manchin is a Democrat, however, I’m glad he’s obviously listening to his constituents and realizes that what his party is doing is bad for all citizens.
For the, I’m grateful.
It’s just too bad deep red West Virginia lost population and congressional representation.
