'Never!': Manchin Destroys Mainstream Media Obsession with Filibuster Elimination

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, viewed as a "Swing" vote in the Democratic caucus, expressed frustration with reporters on Capitol Hill who continually ask him his stance on the future of the legislative filibuster.

"I'm not separating our country, OK?" Manchin said in response to yet another question about eliminating the filibuster.

For months, Manchin and Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema have remained committed to keeping the filibuster intact.

Manchin even maintained that he would not blow up the filibuster if the bill to create a January 6 commission was blocked by Republican senators, which happened last week.

Just asked Sen. Joe Manchin if he would invoke the nuclear option to blow up the filibuster if Republicans block the Jan. 6 commission bill.
