"You (Jamaal Bowmann)... talk about the number of noes that he is saying to the face of your community: no more child tax payments, no affordable child care, no paid leave, no immigration protections, no community violence and trauma intervention funding, no $35-a-month cap on insulin, no down payment assistance, no housing vouchers, and beyond.,,, I also want to read another of the six congressmembers, the Squad plus you and Cori Bush said, “West Virginia is 50th in public health, 50th in childcare, 48th in employment. They (West Virginians) support Build Back Better by a 43 point margin. This has nothing to do with [the] constituents [of Manchin]. This is about the corruption and self-interest of a coal baron,” Ilhan Omar tweeted."
