U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., responded Friday to criticism from U.S.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., derisively declaring that he wasn't going to
take marching orders from a socialist.
"Congress should proceed with caution on any additional spending and I
will not vote for a reckless expansion of government programs," Manchin
wrote in a statement. "No op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist
is going to change that."
Earlier, Sanders had penned an op-ed for a newspaper in Manchin's home
state, calling for every Democrat to support President Biden's Build Back
Better agenda.
"Poll after poll shows overwhelming support for this legislation," Sanders
wrote in the op-ed for the Charleston Gazette-Mail. "Yet, the political
problem we face is that in a 50-50 Senate we need every Democratic senator
to vote 'yes,' We now have only 48. Two Democratic senators remain in
opposition, including Sen. Joe Manchin."
"In a 50-50 Senate we need every Democratic senator to vote 'yes,' We now
have only 48. Two Democratic senators remain in opposition, including Sen.
Joe Manchin."
— U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
Manchin said Sanders has "no relationship to the state," adding that
Sanders' remarks did not mark the "first time an out-of-stater has tried
to tell West Virginians what is best for them."
"Millions of jobs are open, supply chains are strained and unavoidable
inflation taxes are draining workers' hard-earned wages as the price of
gasoline and groceries continues to climb," Manchin stated, accusing
Sanders of trying to "throw more money on an already overheated economy
while 52 other Senators have grave concerns about this approach."

— U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
In his op-ed, Sanders, who has repeatedly pressured Manchin to help pass
Biden's agenda, described the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act as "a
historic opportunity to support the working families of West Virginia,
Vermont and the entire country and create policy which works for all, not
just the few."
Sanders held news conferences targeting Manchin and U.S. Sen. Kyrsten
Sinema, D-Ariz., for their lack of support for the agenda, saying both
senators must speak clearly about what they want out of spending
negotiations.

In an op-ed for Fox News this week, Sanders offered similar comments.
"Will all Democrats stand together to protect the interests of the
elderly, the children, the sick and the poor?" Sanders asked in the piece.
"Will all Democrats stand together to take on the greed of the
pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance companies, the fossil fuel
industry, and wealthy campaign contributors? I certainly hope so."
Sanders initially proposed a $6 trillion infrastructure plan, later saying
that it was "probably too little," and that the current $3.5 trillion
social spending package "should be a minimum."
"The $6 trillion that I originally proposed was probably too little. Three
and a half trillion should be a minimum. But I accept that there's going
to have to be give and take," Sanders said earlier this month.
Sanders could not immediately be reached for comment.

As the above line notes, Sanders himself is not a Democrat.
