Joe Manchin said Thursday he was \u201costracized\u201d and \u201cvictimized\u201d after killing President Joe Biden\u2019s Build Back Better plan.<\/p>\n<p>In a local radio interview with \u201cTalkline with Hoppy Kercheval,\u201d the senator said the $2 trillion legislation was a \u201cbad bill\u201d for the economy and the country, and therefore strongly opposed it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody in their right mind, after I\u2019d been ostracized for how long and victimized, if you will, because I killed the BBB because the BBB was, I think, a bad bill for our economy, it was a bad bill for our country and [would] change the trajectory of who we are as people,\u201d Manchin said. \u201cSo I was totally opposed to that and everyone kept saying \u2018build back better small,\u2019 there was no such thing as \u2018build back better.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin described his negotiation with fellow Senate Democrats on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/07\/27\/joe-manchin-will-support-reconciliation-package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inflation Reduction Act<\/a> of 2022, a reconciliation package aimed at lowering prescription drug costs and promoting an all-of-the-above energy policy to tackle inflation.
