168. Bullshit
Wed Mar 3, 2021, 08:11 PM
Mar 2021

I dont have any evidence at least 45 other senators would have voted for her but I guess it doesn’t suit the narrative to seek out that proof. Bernie hatchet job is what this entire thread is I knew better than wade into that bullshit but occasionally the sheer dishonesty of it drags me in. Sorry for that.

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

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

"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

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
