A confidant of U.S. Sen Joe Manchin (D-WV), Steve Clemons, expressed that the incivility from the White House led Manchin to blow up Joe Biden’s Build Back Better legislation.

As we previously reported:

President Biden just got a real bad piece of news. U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is the one to deliver the blow to the radical left’s agenda.

Manchin believes that he can’t justify signing radical leftist Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan to his constituents in West Virginia. This is why he would need a version that is much cheaper with less pork it sounds like, before he would ever sign.

According to Clemons, who is a longtime Washington journalist for The Hill, Manchin wanted there to be zero finger-pointing from either side.

However, a statement released from the White House last week called out Manchin by name.

Clemons wrote, “I know Manchin. He believes in civility above all things. When I saw Manchin’s name in the presidential statement, I knew he would perceive it as a breach of process, a breach of spirit, a breach of Joe and Joe working this out so that politicians from Scranton and Charleston could find a way to align with those from Brooklyn and San Francisco.”

“Given the protests that Manchin’s family has experienced at his home, which is a boat in Washington Harbor — with folks harassing him, his wife and grandson by kayak around his boat and the gate to the marina — I knew this presidential statement was personalizing the game,” Clemons continued

Had the radical left not harassed Manchin’s family and if the White House was a bit more civil with the senator, there is a strong chance that Manchin would have supported the Build Back Better legislation.

Instead, Democrats are at a roadblock as the moderate senator stands in the way of their agenda.
