CNN Host Asks Democrat Joe Manchin About Filibuster Carveout. Manchin Gives A Brief History Lesson.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) gave a quick history lesson after he was asked whether he would agree to go along with a hypothetical Democratic plan to create an exemption — or carveout — for filibusters when voting rights bills are on the table. 

Manchin’s remarks came after CNN “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper asked him whether he would agree to such a change, something that Tapper said “some people in the more moderate camp” have suggested.
