Manchin to oppose neera tanden nomination

[redjohn]

Her nomination should be withdrawn, and it should've never happened in the first place. From the beginning, her even being selected was a giant middle finger to progressives who did the right thing and held their noses and voted for Joe Biden. She spent years belittling progressive online, not to mention the ridiculous behavior she displayed in her workplace. Why propose somebody who was obviously going to generate a lot of controversy? If I recall correctly, Biden announced she'd be the nominee before the Georgia elections, in which case there was never a chance she'd get through a Republican-controlled Senate.

I don't often agree with Joe Manchin, but come on, we can do so much better. She was an awful pick, and it's embarrassing she hasn't been withdrawn yet.
