Manchin was not the only one. Sanders started it with his scold and demand for apology. LizBeth Mar 2021 #4

Manchin lead the charge on the dem side jorgevlorgan Mar 2021 #7

Sanders started the charge on the Dems side at the committee hearing. LizBeth Mar 2021 #9

it's not as though the tweets weren't going to come up at the hearing w/o Sanders mentioning them fishwax Mar 2021 #15

Looking over those glasses, and scolding her. Yes, he could have said any number of things to LizBeth Mar 2021 #18

I don't see anything wrong with him addressing the tweets fishwax Mar 2021 #20

Right, he was simply the victim. There was no "two sides of the story" in this scenario, for sure. LizBeth Mar 2021 #23

he wasn't the one intervjewing for a job fishwax Mar 2021 #48

Yes, I found it offensive once again as I watched that finger wagged at a woman demanding apology. LizBeth Mar 2021 #49

Brava! We know whaat happened.. Cha Mar 2021 #85

Sanders would have voted for her, because he supports Biden. Manchin would never vote for her. Autumn Mar 2021 #16

I do not know that to be true. Regardless, he started the tone. LizBeth Mar 2021 #19

Regardless, Bernie supports the Democratic agenda that Biden wants. Manchin is kneecapping him. Autumn Mar 2021 #24

Sanders was the very one that kneecapped Tanden. Manchin just kicked her while she was down. LizBeth Mar 2021 #27

So? He still said he would vote for you. You can blame Manchin, who said he wouldn't vote for her. Autumn Mar 2021 #33

So? Ya right LizBeth Mar 2021 #35

I don't think he did say he would vote for her dsc Mar 2021 #71

From another article Autumn Mar 2021 #129

"would have been" rogue emissary Mar 2021 #139

"she dropped out". Know who else didn't officially endorse her? Your Democrat, Joe Manchin. Autumn Mar 2021 #164

You are wrong. White House sources said that Bernie said he would vote for her Autumn Mar 2021 #128

It was said after, though not by him publicly dsc Mar 2021 #130

Let it go. You're wrong. Bernie said he would vote for her, he supports Biden's agenda. Manchin Autumn Mar 2021 #133

No I am not wrong dsc Mar 2021 #136

HE doesn't have to say he would vote for her in public. HE TOLD THE WHITE HOUSE Autumn Mar 2021 #137

please stop lying about what I said dsc Mar 2021 #138

I NEVER SAID you said it was his job. You are accusing me of lying about what you posted. Autumn Mar 2021 #143

Where in this article does it quote him or his staff on the record? rogue emissary Mar 2021 #141

Oh I see the game now jcgoldie Mar 2021 #149

Do you mean the game where you can't quote him or his staff saying he'd vote for her? rogue emissary Mar 2021 #151

No jcgoldie Mar 2021 #152

Let me be clear, I blame them both for tanking Tanden's nomination. rogue emissary Mar 2021 #158

"people were lying" jcgoldie Mar 2021 #160

Yes, that includes their trash article which is more click bait than an article. rogue emissary Mar 2021 #162

Bullshit jcgoldie Mar 2021 #168

+1. It truly amazes me the insistence to vilify Manchin and the exoneration or Sanders. It is what LizBeth Mar 2021 #153

Exactly, they both held Tanden to a level they didn't for many of Donny's nominees. rogue emissary Mar 2021 #159

Whats petty jcgoldie Mar 2021 #167

No one in the thread absolved Manchin's role except the people that want to wipe out Sanders role. LizBeth Mar 2021 #170

I posted that link. But Bernie never said it PUBLICLY. Autumn Mar 2021 #144

Kind of ironic the "real democrat" Manchin harpooned her nomination. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2021 #42

Sanders harpooned it, Manchin joined in. LizBeth Mar 2021 #45

Yep. seaglass Mar 2021 #31

Why would he vote for her if Manchin and no Republicans would cross over to vote for her? Autumn Mar 2021 #37

Make up your mind. You just posted that he would have voted for her. seaglass Mar 2021 #38

Which part of Manchin said he would not vote for her, Republicans would not cross over to vote for Autumn Mar 2021 #44

He should have announced she was withdrawing her nomination and there would be no vote? Or lied? Autumn Mar 2021 #51

The last I saw he refused to say if he'd vote for her. rogue emissary Mar 2021 #113

Right. Thank you. LizBeth Mar 2021 #115

Always find a way to blame Bernie wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #70

Sanders was the first to scold a grown woman on being mean to him, on record. LizBeth Mar 2021 #72

Sanders didn't out and out announce he won't vote for her wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #77

That's the line you are standing on? LizBeth Mar 2021 #78

Why are you caping for Manchin anyway? wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #79

All about gaslighting. Pretending Sanders didn't start it all and certainly had his part in this and LizBeth Mar 2021 #80

This is about Manchin, not Sanders wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #81

Tou totally misread the poster.. she Cha Mar 2021 #86

The poster was clearly trying to deflect blame from Manchin to Sanders wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #87

Blame Manchin. Sanders started it and he gets equal blame. This is not a tough one. LizBeth Mar 2021 #89

Don't bothsides this wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #92

I am on Tanden side. I do not know why you do not get that. LizBeth Mar 2021 #94

I disagree with you as I have argued thru out this thread. LizBeth Mar 2021 #98

Sounds like you just want an excuse to dump on Bernie wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #101

Tanden is mature enough to own those tweets and apologize for them wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #105

Like I said.. she is giving the timeline of Cha Mar 2021 #106

No.. she was Clearly Not "trying to Cover Cha Mar 2021 #104

You're on the hill of blaming Bernie or bust wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #114

I am calling out Sanders actions that were in part to the ousting of Tanden that I found to be very LizBeth Mar 2021 #116

You're okay with people insinuating that Democrats and allies wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #145

Not only did Sanders own it, he then blamed HRC for not addressing it. A pattern. LizBeth Mar 2021 #146

Reverse it. If Sanders had tweeted about Tanden what she did Cuthbert Allgood Mar 2021 #135

Let's be honest. These people love exacting political revenge for anyone who said anything... Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2021 #142

Remember when AOC got her Covid vaccination? That was epic too. Autumn Mar 2021 #165

Agreed - it's like people think people should have their cake and eat it too - get plaudits for Midwestern Democrat Mar 2021 #171

VERY much deserved Skittles Mar 2021 #83

Tanden did herself no favors with the Bernie mean tweets wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #84

Now you acknowledge Sanders part in ousting Tanden then blame Tanden. Just like LizBeth Mar 2021 #88

Bernie had every right to address the mean tweet wellst0nev0ter Mar 2021 #90

Again you acknowledge Sanders scolding and are good with it. I am not. LizBeth Mar 2021 #95
