Spies in Disguise
Senators Sinema and Manchin: undercover agents for the Republican Party?
Republican, er… I mean, Democratic senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin aren’t fooling anyone. In a tight battle between the two Senate parties to pass Biden’s $3.5 trillion Build Back Better bill, they’ve revealed themselves as Trojan Horse Republicans pretending to be members of the Democratic party.
Mata Hari and Benedict Arnold, move over. New turncoats have arrived in town! They wear four shoes between them, but neither has a leg to stand on in their refusal to support their ‘declared’ party or its’ leader, President Joe Biden.
A double-agent Democrat is a politician caught ‘red-handed.’
Oh sure, items in the bill affect them personally. Regulations addressing climate change and low emission vehicles are disconcerting to Joe Manchin earning $492,000 a year from his West Virginia-based Enersystems coal company.
Manchin once quipped, “When I embrace renewable energy, it will be a ‘coal’ day in July.”
Funding the bill involves rescinding a Trump tax break for law firms… Whoops! Those are Manchin’s largest campaign contributors!
Lowering prescription costs and cutting revenues for big pharma… Whoa! His daughter, Heather, is CEO of Mylan…
