Joe Manchin is &#8220;tough&#8221; and can handle the backlash after breaking from his own party in an editorial and in TV appearances about his refusal to vote for a Democrat-only infrastructure bill and for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/joemanchin-democrat-electionreform-senate\/2021\/06\/06\/id\/1024073\/\">rejecting calls<\/a> to kill the Senate filibuster to allow the House Democrats&#8217; voting rights bill to be approved in the Senate, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said Monday\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a mistake to threaten him,&#8221; the Louisiana Republican said on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Fox and Friends.&#8221; &#8220;What he&#8217;s saying is, Joe Biden, you said you were going to unify the country and work with everybody, it&#8217;s time you start doing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Manchin, D-W. Va., has said he wants to help Biden work with both sides of the aisle, Scalise continued, but that also means he won&#8217;t be voting to pass bad legislation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A Democrat-only infrastructure bill would be much more (about) the Green New Deal,&#8221; Scalise added, because it would contain provisions that would have nothing to do with roads and bridges and that &#8220;would not be good for the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At least Joe Manchin is putting his marker down on that and on H.R. 1, which is a bad piece of legislation,&#8221; Scalise said, and the West Virginia senator is saying, with his actions, that Biden must start working with Republicans like he promised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are several states that have their own voter integrity protections in place, including Manchin&#8217;s home state of West Virginia, said Scalise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you look at Florida back in 2000, you had the disaster in Broward County, where they were counting ballots that didn&#8217;t even have marks on them, and Florida fixed those laws,&#8221; said Scalise. &#8220;H.R. 1 overrides that and takes California&#8217;s election law and turns it into America&#8217;s law and gets rid of voter fraud protections, which is something you don&#8217;t want to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Scalise continued that regardless of the elections in 2022 or 2024, members of Congress must do what&#8217;s right for the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;(Biden&#8217;s) policies right now are destroying the fabric of America,&#8221; said Scalise. &#8220;Look at our economy. You&#8217;ve got a lot of problems there. Inflation through the roof. Our adversaries, Russia, China, Iran, they&#8217;re all testing President Biden right now and, frankly (he) is failing those tests. Just look at the recent hacks, look at what China&#8217;s doing trying to give away the intellectual property of the vaccine to China right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden is being judged on that performance, and &#8220;right now, the performance has been dismal,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Keystone&#8217;s gone, and President Biden has approved the Russian pipeline, Nord Stream, to Germany. He is killing American jobs and giving jobs to foreign countries. Those aren&#8217;t good fundamentals.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
