As Landon covered earlier, squad members were none too happy about Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) decision not to support the reconciliation spending bill, also known as the Build Back Better Act, a key agenda item for President Joe Biden. One of those squad members, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), took to claiming on MSNBC that Manchin “couldn’t be trusted” and going on a rant that his “excuses” are “complete bulls**t.”

They would benefit fromâŠthe child tax credit. They would benefit from pre-K.â pic.twitter.com/ATqXYdpHge
