At least five people died during the siege, including a police officer.

Manchin told USA Today he had a positive working relationship with Trump during most of his time in office but distanced himself from the president in the wake of the Capitol riots. He ultimately voted to impeach Trump twice, including in February on a charge that he incited a mob to attack Congress.

"I heard the Trump rhetoric forever. I got along well with Donald Trump. We had a good rapport. He called me all the time. We talked back and forth," he said. However, Manchin said,"he liked conflicts and he liked that turmoil. And that's fine if you're in business. But for public service, it doesn't work.

"The whole principle of public service is to bring people together to get a consensus. And Donald Trump's not made that way. So when I started coming to that conclusion, I'm thinking that's just a lot of rhetoric. I didn't know there was that type of fever and pent-up hatred in people he allowed them to unleash."Subscribe to push notificationsStart your day with the biggest stories in politics and the economy.

Has the bar been set so low that we expect nothing but grandstanding from our politicians. How about actually helping people

We should let him stay and fight and leave the Senate to someone else who actually cares about the job

I’m sure he could have if we wanted to lol. “I wanted to be a navy seal and kill Bin Laden says Manchin”

I want to specially thank trader_Naomi she is the best forex trader ever, she has been trading for me for 2 weeks now and the profits has been really great.

Bullshit. He doesn't even fight for his home state.

He will have plenty of opportunity to fight if we keep sailing ships through the black sea.

Clown

Bull Shit

I wish he had. I wish they all had. We could’ve live streamed it and use the profits to have universal healthcare like all other developed countries

Sure he did .. I want to fight after the fight is over

Why was Trump banned?
