And the president has worked diligently. He\u2019s been wonderful to work with. He knows I\u2019ve had concerns and the problems I\u2019ve had and, you know, the thing that we should all be directing our attention towards, the variant, a COVID that we have coming back at us in so many different aspects in different ways, it\u2019s affecting our lives again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omar lost it, saying, \u201cwe all knew that Senator Manchin couldn\u2019t be trusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe excuses that he just made, I think, are complete bulls***,\u201d Omar said. \u201cIt is really disheartening to hear him say that he has been trying to get there for the people of West Virginia because that\u2019s a complete lie. The people of West Virginia would greatly benefit from their families having access to long-term elderly care and care for folks with disabilities. They would benefit from the expansion of the child tax credits. They will benefit from having access to pre-k. There are just so many things that, you know, the people of West Virginia desperately need.
