97. Manchin vs AOC/Kamala/Tanden,

anyone see what his targets all have in common?

His public spats with outspoken women of color are IMO a clear dogwhistle to the voters in his pro-Trump state.

Manchin is a guy who has voted to confirm many terrible white men to powerful positions who were much more 'divisive' than Tanden could ever be. We had a Twitter troll as president who attempted to overthrow democracy. But of course the scary brown woman is the problem.

This is the typical double standard that non-whites and women (especially of color) have to face in America.
