Kudlow: Save America, kill the bill … and defend the ‘deplorables’

‘Kudlow’ discusses wrongdoing as progressives relentlessly slam Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin for rejecting ‘Build Back Better’.

Save America. Kill the bill. The bill is dead. And now the blame game is on inside the Democratic Party.

It’s not really fair to call it a blame “game” because all they’re doing is attacking Joe Manchin.

MANCHIN KILLING BBB LIKEY SAVED US FROM ECONOMIC ‘DISASTER,’ EXPERTS SAY

Last Sunday, after Senator Manchin announced his “no” vote on Fox News, Madam Psaki quickly responded. No generosity. No “let’s talk about it in the new year.”

She ripped into Manchin. Undoubtedly, she was following the orders of the president or chief of staff Ron Klain or domestic policy adviser Susan Rice. It was more a temper tantrum than a policy response.

House lawmakers passed a procedural bill Tuesday allowing the Senate to raise the debt ceiling by 222-212, clearing the way for Democrats to proceed without needing Republican support.

The bill now proceeds to the Senate, where at least 10 Republicans will have to join Democrats in voting in favor of the procedure. From there, the Senate will vote to raise the debt ceiling by a fixed dollar amount, with passage obtainable by a simple majority vote.

“Once the Senate has passed the legislation lifting the debt limit, the House will take up that bill and send it to the President,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter to Democratic lawmakers ahead of the vote.

Only one Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, voted for the House bill.
