Manchin dismissively calls Sanders a ‘self-declared independent socialist’
The West Virginia Democrat fired back after Sanders published an op-ed in Manchin's home state, calling for support for the Biden economic agenda
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., responded Friday to criticism from U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., derisively declaring that he wasn't going to take marching orders from a socialist.
"Congress should proceed with caution on any additional spending and I will not vote for a reckless expansion of government programs," Manchin wrote in a statement. "No op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist is going to change that."
"In a 50-50 Senate we need every Democratic senator to vote 'yes,' We now have only 48. Two Democratic senators remain in opposition, including Sen. Joe Manchin."
— U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt
