Manchin: ‘I Don’t Work for the Washington Democrats’

EXCERPT:

MANCHIN: "And one time one of the leaders came up to me and said this is going to be a party line vote. And I said what does that mean? When I first got here. And Harry told me that. And he said well, we all stick together. I said let me see the bill. So I read the bill. I went over and I said Harry on my best day I can’t sell this crap in West Virginia. And that’s just as honest as I can be. So the once they figured Joe is going to be Joe, I’m going to vote for West Virginia; that's who sent me there, that's who I work for. I don’t work for you. I don’t work for the Washington Democrats. I work for West Virginia, Democrat, Republican, independent, mountain party, everybody, and I’m going to do that. I’m going to continue to do that."
