Joe Manchin angers progressives after declaring US is a center-right country: 'That's being shown'
'We can't go too far left'
By David Rutz | Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., declared Thursday the United States is a "center-right country" on Thursday in remarks that further raised hackles on the progressive left.
Manchin told CNN that President Joe Biden could, as Rep. Abigail Spanger, D-Va., said, fulfill the mission voters elected him to do: "Be normal and stop the chaos."
"I think he can do that," he said. "I believe in President Biden. I still do. He’s a good person. He’s here for the right reason … We have to work together. We can’t go too far left. This is not a center-left or a left country. We are a center, if anything, a little center-right country. That’s being shown, and we ought to be able to recognize that. And all my friends on the left are progressive or liberals, whatever. I said I’m not, I always say that I’m a responsible West Virginia Democrat, and I’m fiscally responsible and socially compassionate."
