Sanders Destroys Chuck Todd's Defense Of Manchin And Sinema

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Spazito (a host of the Video & Multimedia forum).

Chuck Todd tried to play a word game with Sen. Bernie Sanders to soft pedal the treacherous actions taken by Manchin and Sinema.
Meet the Press host Chuck Todd asked why nothing has been done after the BBB bill had failed to pass, basically ignoring the disastrous efforts of Sens. Manchin and Sinema to block their own party's agenda.

"Why do we have nothing? That is the head scratcher," Todd asked.

Sen. Bernie Sanders set NBC's Chuck Todd straight when Todd tried to soft pedal the actions of Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, which destroyed Pres. Joe Biden's agenda.

Meet the Press host Chuck Todd asked why nothing has been done after the BBB bill had failed to pass, basically ignoring the disastrous efforts of Sens. Manchin and Sinema to block their own party's agenda.

"Why do we have nothing? That is the head scratcher," Todd asked.




Sen. Sanders did not mince words.

"It should not be a head scratcher. You got two members of the Senate, Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema, who have sabotaged what the president has been fighting for," Bernie Sanders stated.

Todd jumped in to defend the dastardly duo, "That's a strong word, sabotage."

Bernie replied, "You help me out with a better word here."

Sanders continued, "48 members of the Senate wanted to go forward with an agenda that helped working families, that was prepared to take on the wealthy and powerful. You have a president who wants to do that and you have two people who prevented us from doing that."

"You have a better word than sabotage, that's fine. I think that is the right word," Sen. Sanders said.

Boom!

Why? Who gave a guy like Manchin the sole power to save Our Rights? Who sloganeered Planned Parenthood as 'Establishment"?

Who silenced that SC conversation?
Waiting for an answer from either.

Ya. Destroyed is a damned descript word.

Host consensus is this OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:

Post videos, images, or any other multimedia content about politics, issues, and current events.

There is no multimedia content in this OP.

This would be fine in General Discussion.
