January 1, Manchin speaks bluntly on party switch rumors: ‘It’s bulls—t’

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.VA) curtly dismissed rumors that he’s considering leaving the Democratic Party as “bulls—t.”

“It’s bulls—t,” Manchin said when asked about a recent report claiming he’s told “associates” he’s actively thinking about leaving the party. 

“I have no control of rumors, guys. No control of rumors,” Manchin said.

The report from Mother Jones claimed that Manchin would leave the Democrats if President Joe Biden persisted in passing a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.

Manchin reportedly grew exasperated with questions over the report, raising his voice when asked a second time.

“I can’t control rumors, and it’s bulls—t, bulls—t spelled with b, u, l, l, capital b!”
