"This is a no on this legislation"

Senator Joe Manchin on Fox News Sunday just now shot down the Build Back Better boondoggle.

Game over.

Here come all the breaking news stories: "Manchin a ‘no’ vote on Biden’s Build Back Better spending plan."

Politico: "Manchin crushes Biden’s megabill".  After telling the White House "no" for months, they're pissed Manchin didn't call to say it one more time:

Manchin’s rollout on Fox News infuriated Democrats Sunday morning. While the centrist senator’s staff informed White House and Democratic aides about his forthcoming blow to Biden’s agenda, some Democrats were steamed that Manchin himself hadn’t called Biden or Schumer.

"Manchin didn't have the courage to call the White House or Democratic leadership himself ahead of time,” fumed one Democrat familiar with internal conversations.

They simply refused to believe.  At Christmastime, no less!

There's more! - The Corner reports that Manchin had his office call the White House only minutes before his Fox News appearance.  Then when they frantically tried to call him, Joe didn't pick up his phone.  What a legend.
