ABC ‘This Week’ host Martha Raddatz tries to ask Bernie Sanders about Sen. Joe Manchin "abruptly" pulling out of negotiations for a smaller reconciliation package in the Senate. Sanders takes issue with Raddatz characterizing it as "abrupt." SANDERS: "(Manchin) didn't abruptly do anything. He has sabotaged (Biden's) agenda. You have people like Manchin, Sinema to a lesser degree, who are intentionally sabotaging the president's agenda, what the American people want."

A lot happened on Friday i didn't really headline Joe Manchin there, because i knew we were going to flesh this out now but for people that may not remember or you know have tried to scrub this from their memory over the weekend: Joe Manchin once again killed the Biden administration's latest iteration of build back better but it's not even that anymore it's a reconciliation climate package that they were trying to come to an agreement on. A reminder that Joe Manchin is a coal millionaire he takes the most money I believe of any senator from fossil fuel companies. In his own, it is in his own financial interests literally directly that climate change is not addressed so what a shocker he was not interested in addressing climate change via electric vehicle funds, clean air protections, some of the things that were being discussed and fleshed out in this reconciliation negotiation process. But this news broke on Friday so afterward he goes on West Virginia radio and he basically says that he'd be open to looking at this again after the July inflation numbers come out.
