Anyone foolish enough to think that Joe Manchin is some sort of “moderate” Democrat and will not vote for communist legislation are kidding themselves. Manchin, the Democrat who everyone calls “moderate” wants Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley removed from the Senate via 14th Amendment because they dared challenge the election results. Remember who Manchin took over the Senate seat from. None other than KKK Grand Dragon Robert Byrd.
“Moderate” Democrat Joe Manchin wants to remove Ted Cruz-Josh Hawley via 14th Amendment |

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said the Senate should consider removing Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) via the 14th Amendment over their objections last week to the Electoral College results.
Speaking to PBS’s “Firing Line” on Friday night, Manchin said the Senate should explore the option after a violent mob, riled up by President Trump and convinced by Republicans such as Hawley and Cruz that the election was fraudulent, ransacked the Capitol in one of the darkest points in American democracy.
“That should be a consideration,” Manchin responded when asked if the 14th Amendment should be triggered. “He understands that. Ted’s a very bright individual, and I get along fine with Ted, but what he did was totally outside of the realm of our responsibilities or our privileges.”
The third section of the 14th Amendment reads that no lawmaker holding office “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
