Manchin slams Reid on Trump comments: 'An absolute embarrassment'

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin sharply criticized his own party leader on Friday evening, calling Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's reaction to Donald Trump's election "an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation."

Manchin is one of the chamber's most conservative Democrats and must convince hundreds of thousands of Trump voters to reelect him in 2018. The outgoing Democratic leader, however, is one of Trump's most persistent critics and has spoken out against Trump on the Senate floor repeatedly this year. On Friday Reid called Trump a "sexual predator who lost the popular vote," perhaps the harshest reaction to Trump's victory uttered by a congressional Democratic this week.

Manchin said that Reid's remarks were "wrong!" and immediately moved to distance himself from the Democratic leader. Though Manchin voted against Reid as party leader in 2014, Manchin's criticisms of Reid were usually more mild than Friday's remarks.

Reid is a creepy little maggot. I am happy to know that he is retiring with a record of being an absolute failure and loser.

I wouldn't be surprised if Manchin actually does decide to switch parties.

Does he want to get re-elected?

   We already knew what Sen. Manchin was, besides a DemocRat, McConnell is just negotiating 'his' price now and knowing History, McConnell will screw it up.
