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

"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

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
