Conservative Twitter users slammed ABC News for posting a tweet on Friday absurdly painting Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) as the only roadblock to President Joe Biden’s agenda.
Manchin has had countless discussions with the Biden administration, including with the president himself, over Biden’s landmark proposed Build Back Better legislation. Manchin has expressed numerous objections to the bill such as the proposed expanded child tax credit. Democrats are looking to pass the bill next year.
“A single senator is about to seriously set back an entire presidential agenda,” tweeted ABC News in a post that included a link to an Associated Press article.

Conservative Twitter users dunked on ABC News over the tweet.
Absurd framing. A majority of senators oppose the bill. That’s how it works. https://t.co/RxOOfPISso

Actually, it’s 51 senators, so tell us more about how you think a minority should be able to enact policy… https://t.co/rwAf11F7Jc

Actually, it would be 51 senators “setting back” a presidential agenda. Even if they’re not in the majority, Republicans are still senators!
The idea that senators are obligated to serve a president’s agenda undermines the principle of checks and balances. https://t.co/Taa73gVUTa

A single senator, along with 50 other senators, is going to set back an entire presidential agenda opposed by a majority of the population https://t.co/o9arJqZhAb
