‘I won’t take orders from a socialist’: Furious Joe Manchin slams ‘out of stater’ Bernie Sanders for daring to write an op-ed backing Biden’s $3.5T infrastructure plan in West Virginia’s largest newspaper

  • Sanders, the most progressive senator, on Friday launched a direct attack on Manchin, the most moderate, in Manchin’s home state
  • The unusual move saw Sanders, representing Vermont, write an op ed in the biggest newspaper in Manchin’s state, West Virginia
  • Sanders aimed to convince Manchin’s constituents to support the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better plan promoted by Joe Biden
  • Manchin has said that the price of the infrastructure bill is too high, and is stubbornly refusing to approve Biden’s signature proposal
  • Biden himself on Friday conceded that the $3.5 trillion plan was unlikely to be passed, but vowed to return to the theme with additional cash once approved
