4/ Correction, it’s @angikerns2 of @_youngwv! She’s one of many West Virginians here who is just amazing.
They’re speaking for the majority: 79% of WV wants to see #BuildBackBetter passed. That includes Republican voters.
You could be their hero, @Sen_JoeManchin!

7/ In all seriousness, we thank @Sen_JoeManchin for coming out today to speak to our friends from @_youngwv and @Race_Matters_WV.
We’re hopeful that a real (land-side) talk between West Virginians might make a difference.

8/ @Sen_JoeManchin talks about how much the government has spent during COVID.
West Virginians respond it’s helped the economy, and that the spends in #BuildBackBetter aren’t “on the backs of ordinary people,” but rather taxing the rich + big corp, drug price negotiation etc
