Manchin Responds To Sanders Op-Ed In West Virginia Gazette-Mail

Charleston, WV – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) released the following statement in response to Senator Bernie Sanders op-ed published in the West Virginia Gazette-Mail. 

 

“This isn’t the first time an out-of-stater has tried to tell West Virginians what is best for them despite having no relationship to our state. Millions of jobs are open, supply chains are strained and unavoidable inflation taxes are draining workers’ hard-earned wages as the price of gasoline and groceries continues to climb. Senator Sanders’ answer is to throw more money on an already overheated economy while 52 other Senators have grave concerns about this approach. To be clear, again, Congress should proceed with caution on any additional spending and I will not vote for a reckless expansion of government programs. No op-ed from a self-declared Independent socialist is going to change that.”
