Senator Joe Manchin (D - WV)
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has come out against the Biden regime’s unconstitutional and psychotic COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
“I’ve been very supportive of the mandate for federal government, for military, for all the people that work on government payroll,” he told reporters on Thursday afternoon while remaining noncommittal. “I’ve been less enthused about the private sector.”
Later in the day, Manchin made it clear that although he supports the vaccine in general, he cannot in good faith support the Biden regime’s vaccine mandates.
“I have personally had both vaccine doses and a booster shot and I continue to urge every West Virginian to get vaccinated themselves,” Manchin said on Thursday evening.
“Let me be clear: I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses,” he continued. “That’s why I have cosponsored and will strongly support a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for private businesses.”
“I have long said we should incentivize, not penalize, private employers whose responsibility it is to protect their employees from COVID-19,” Manchin added.
Big League Politics has reported on other times Manchin has bucked the Democrat status quo to stand in favor of sanity:
“Democrat Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia came out against Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) their ties to the pharmaceutical industry amidst the ongoing opioid crisis that kills tens of thousands of young Americans every year.
Manchin released a statement Friday opposing the Biden FDA nominee, Robert Califf, who previously led the bureaucratic agency during the final days of the Obama administration.
The West Virginia Democrat said that Califf’s nomination “makes no sense” amid the opioid epidemic still troubling America and wreaking “havoc on families across this country with no end in sight.” He also blasted the nominee for his deep-running ties in the pharmaceutical industry, which many argue has played a major role in creating the opioid epidemic and perhaps done so purposely.
“2020 was the deadliest year on record for drug-related overdose deaths, with 1,386 and nearly 95,000 Americans dying from a drug-related overdose,” Manchin said. “I have made it abundantly clear that correcting the culture at the FDA is critical to changing the tide of the opioid epidemic.”
“Instead, Dr. Califf’s nomination and his significant ties to the pharmaceutical industry take us backwards not forward,” the West Virginia Democrat continued. “His nomination is an insult to the many families and individuals who have had their lives changed forever as a result of addiction.”
This apparently is not the first time that Manchin opposed Califf. Breitbart reported that the West Virginia lawmaker was one of four senators who voted against the cardiologist back when Obama nominated him in 2015. It wasn’t enough at the time to stop the nominee, with a Senate confirmation finalizing in February 2016 and Califf serving until January 20, 2017.“
Moderate-leaning lawmakers like Manchin will need to oppose the radicalized Democrats, and perhaps even abandoning the psychotic left-wing party, in order to save the country.
