US Senator Manchin to vote against Biden nominee to head IRS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin said on Wednesday he will vote against Daniel Werfel for Internal Revenue Service commissioner, a week after President Joe Biden's nominee to head the agency was approved by a Senate committee.

Manchin, who has often blocked Biden's legislative priorities, said he was opposing Werfel on the basis of the Biden administration's implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, a sprawling tax and climate bill that Manchin was key in passing.

"At every turn, this Administration has ignored Congressional intent when implementing the Inflation Reduction Act," Manchin said in a statement.

"While Daniel Werfel is supremely qualified to serve as the IRS Commissioner, I have zero faith he will be given the autonomy to perform the job in accordance with the law and for that reason, I cannot support his nomination," he added.

2. Manchin was the original template for the phrase,

No good deed goes unpunished.

4. This sounds like Manchin will oppose any qualified candidate because they will not have "autonomy".

12. That's his latest feeble excuse. He also opposed the FCC nominee.

Can't take a chance on anything hindering rightwing corporate media, ya know!

5. DU needs to put a moratorium on hiding posts about him

until after he stops helping republicons obstruct Democratic goals and the Democratic president.

6. What we need to do is get a significant turnout to vote so he is irrelevant

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. I'm pretty sure that has been tried

[JohnSJ]

8. Not enough people are still not voting in elections. 60% isn't enough, we need a 75% turnout or

nothing will change

13. Still Trying.

10. I don't recall ever seeing a post about him hidden.

It seems like that policy has been in effect for a while now.

11. I just got one last week for implying he might be more aligned with MF45 than us.

14. I saw some when he was accused of taking bribes and being an agent of Putin

and those were allowed to stand.
