Look, he\u2019s got security protection around him simply because of the fact that Democrats are mad at him because he is keeping their word. Unlike them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cLook, dozens of them signed a letter with Republicans four years ago when we were in the same situation; when we were being pressured by some in our party to nuke the filibuster. They joined us in saying it shouldn\u2019t be nuked. Now, they have no explanation other than that it could benefit them for the short term right now, and they are proceeding anyway. And they are beating up on Manchin and Sinema, and that\u2019s not right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday on Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom,\u201d Sen.
