In no uncertain terms, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin said he isn’t going to toe the party line on every policy issue just because he's up for re-election.
“I don’t give a shit, you understand? I just don’t give a shit,” he told the Charleston Gazette-Mail Sunday. “Don’t care if I get elected, don’t care if I get defeated, how about that. If they think because I’m up for election, that I can be wrangled into voting for shit that I don’t like and can’t explain, they’re all crazy.”
He continued: “I’m not scared of an election, let’s put it that way. Elections do not bother me or scare me. I’m going to continue to do the same thing I’ve always done, extremely independent.”
Manchin made the comments in response to pushback he received for not signing on to a letter establishing the Democratic Party’s three main policy positions tax reform.
