Joe Manchin (D-WV) reportedly told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that his Thursday speech on the Senate floor was \u201cf***ing stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin\u2019s blunt assessment of Schumer\u2019s remarks comes after the West Virginia senator was visibly upset in the Senate chamber, burying his head in his hands during Schumer\u2019s speech. The particularly stark image underscored the battle that Manchin has waged for weeks attempting to restrain Democrats\u2019 high-spending appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Punchbowl News <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JakeSherman\/status\/1446439270626086915\">reported<\/a> on Manchin\u2019s alleged remarks to the Senate majority leader. Schumer claimed victory in a minor battle over a debt ceiling increase to stave off a government shutdown, buying some time for Democrats to attempt to resolve their infighting over a multi-trillion-dollar spending package. Schumer\u2019s comments angered Republicans who supported the debt ceiling increase as well as Manchin. Punchbowl News\u2019 morning newsletter said in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>There was some last-minute drama, as well. Schumer went to the floor and harshly criticized Republicans for provoking the crisis. Schumer won this round of his never-ending battle with McConnell, and he made sure everyone knew it. But Republicans \u2014 and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) \u2014 didn\u2019t like the tone of Schumer\u2019s remarks. Senate Minority Whip John Thune complained personally to Schumer on the floor, while Sens. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Mitt Romney (R-Utah) complained to reporters. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manchin told Schumer the speech was \u201cf***ing stupid,\u201d according to four sources. Then Manchin complained to reporters too. The incident doesn\u2019t really signify anything, except to show how tense everyone is in the Senate these days. And it\u2019s only going to get worse.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Manchin was visibly upset during Schumer\u2019s speech, giving off an on-camera reaction shown just over the Senate majority leader\u2019s left shoulder. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-manchins-visible-reaction-to-schumers-attacks-on-gop-goes-viral-slams-attacks-as-not-appropriate\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>\u201cLeader McConnell and Senate Republicans insisted they wanted a solution to the debt ceiling, but said Democrats must raise it alone by going through a drawn out convoluted and risky reconciliation process,\u201d Schumer said as Manchin looked on from behind shaking his head and putting his hands on his face in an apparent display of frustration. \u201cThat was simply unacceptable to my caucus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Schumer claimed that that this would have been the \u201cfirst ever Republican manufactured default on the national debt,\u201d even though Senate Republicans have warned Schumer for months that Democrats would need to use the reconciliation process to increase the debt ceiling.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Schumer said that Republicans need to \u201cstay out of the way and let Democrats address that debt limit ourselves,\u201d which is precisely what Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was allowing them to do by forcing them to use the reconciliation process to raise the debt limit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Manchin later explained his frustration to reporters after Schumer\u2019s speech. \u201cI didn\u2019t think it was appropriate at this time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had talked about that,\u201d the West Virginia senator continued. \u201cBut he felt charged up and he and I have good conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin later said that Schumer\u2019s victory lap was not appropriate because \u201cI just think that basically what we got to do is find the pathway forward and make sure that we de-weaponize; we have to de-weaponize. You can\u2019t be playing politics; none of us can, on both sides, and both sides have been very guilty of this.
