The only reason I posted about Sanders is people were lying when they asserted that Sanders said he'd vote for her. If any of the Manchin defenders for example started to spread the lie that Manchin had changed his mind and would vote for her. I'd post that's a lie as well.

I read every article posted so far and they all talk about probably and would. None of the articles quotes a source on the record saying Sanders told them he'd vote for Tanden. Hell, before yesterday I would've said Sanders would vote for her. Simple because I thought he supported women and minorities. His silent act speaks volumes of his leadership and support of Biden's agenda.

He's the committee chair that oversees the confirmation and the vote. Now I know it isn't the chair's sole responsibility but he does bear some blame. He should have never brought up the tweets, allowing the Republicans to run with a bipartisan opposition line. He should have realized Manchin is no friend. The confirmation should have been about Biden's policies.
