The article triggered a sharp response from Manchin. "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," he said a tweet.

Manchin's constituents WILDLY, OVERWHELMINGLY, SUPPORT the programs in the reconciliation proposal. Sanders isn't telling West Virginians "what is best for them", rather that Manchin isn't representing their agenda.

WHY is Manchin opposing those he claims to represent?

WHO is Manchin truly representing?
