MANCHIN says to CNN that his refusal to end the filibuster is because “Jan 6 changed me” and “you can’t have this many people split that they want to go to war with each other.”
He’s blaming BOTH SIDES for 1/6.
And REWARDING Rs by giving them the key to total obstruction.

So let’s get this straight:
1. Republicans lie to their voters that the election was stolen.
2. Their voters attack lawmakers at the Capitol b/c #1.
3. R’s use the lie in #1 to legislate Dems away from the polls.
4. Manchin uses the insurrection to ALLOW the Republicans to do #3

The truth is two weeks ago Manchin said he MIGHT be willing to some filibuster reform. TODAY? Manchin has completely changed his mind. NO REFORM.
What’s happened? I guarantee you McConnell has been in contact with Manchin. Repeatedly.
