Is there sort of a shift in strategy since this all blew up over bullying?\u201d Heinrich asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, again, I wouldn\u2019t characterize it that way, Jacqui,\u201d Psaki began. \u201cBut I would tell you that Senator Manchin is somebody who has won many tough-fought fights in West Virginia. He comes proudly from a coal-mining family, he\u2019s a pretty outspoken advocate for the things he believes in and the things he doesn\u2019t \u2014 and I would doubt he\u2019s a withering flower on the side of the road, so \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heinrich also asked Psaki whether the White House staffer responsible for calling Manchin out by name last week \u2014 in a statement designed to pressure him to vote in favor of the president\u2019s behemoth social spending package \u2014had been dealt with, especially after Manchin made it clear that had been what ultimately pushed him to stop negotiating with the White House and announce he would not support the bill.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">JACQUI TIME: \u201cWe now know that [Manchin] ultimately pulled the plug\u2026b\/c he was upset with White House staff, naming him singularly in Thursday statement\u2026Has the staffer who is\u2026responsible for putting his name in\u2026faced any retribution for this or been spoken to about it?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/L3sbPZ6AJ7\">pic.twitter.com\/L3sbPZ6AJ7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisHouck\/status\/1473718002591977486?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/does-the-president-feel-betrayed-press-corps-peppers-psaki-with-questions-on-dustup-with-manchin\/\">Psaki<\/a> said that she was not well-versed with the particulars of Manchin\u2019s comments, but that if there was more information to be had on the subject she could find it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/this-is-a-no-joe-manchin-says-he-cannot-vote-to-continue-on-build-back-better\/\">Manchin<\/a> announced his plan to vote \u201cno\u201d during an appearance with anchor Bret Baier on \u201cFox News Sunday,\u201d arguing that he could not support anything that he did not feel he could explain when he went home to his constituents. He also cited continued concerns that inflation was not, as the White House has claimed, \u201ctransitory\u201d \u2014 and noted that the people of West Virginia were already feeling the impact of rising prices across multiple aspects of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The White House responded with a statement drafted by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/a-breach-of-his-commitments-jen-psaki-unloads-on-manchin-after-he-says-no-to-build-back-better\/\">Psaki<\/a> that accused Manchin of reversing his position, breaching commitments made both to President Biden and fellow Democrats in the House and Senate, and negotiating in bad faith.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
