<p>Moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) snapped at a reporter Wednesday over accusations that he wanted to strip the child tax credit from the Biden administration&#8217;s $2 trillion &#8220;Build Back Better&#8221; spending bill.</p>
<p>“&#8217;This is bull****. You’re bull****,&#8217; Joe Manchin just told me,&#8221; HuffPost Politics reporter Arthur Delaney tweeted Wednesday.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“This is bullshit. You’re bullshit,” Joe Manchin just told me</p>

<p>&#8220;I had asked if it was true he wanted CTC out of BBB. &#8216;I&#8217;ve always been for child tax credits,&#8217; he said. So I asked if he wants it to continue paying parents $300 a month, and he said he was not going to &#8216;negotiate&#8217; with me and that I&#8217;m bullshit,&#8221; Delaney continued.</p>

<p>Delaney was one of several reporters following Manchin in the Capitol subway, where the exchanges between Manchin and the press became heated, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/585965-manchin-yells-at-reporter-youre-bull">The Hill</a>. Reporters were asking Manchin whether he wanted to remove the child tax credit from the legislation, a position which has reportedly become a sticking point in negotiations with President Joe Biden. Manchin dismissed the reporting as “a lot of bad rumors.”</p>
<p>“I’m not opposed to child tax credit, I’ve never been opposed to child tax credit,” he said, via The Hill.</p>
<p>At some point, Manchin had enough. “Guys, I’m not negotiating with any of you all,&#8221; he reportedly said. &#8220;You can ask all the questions you want. Guys, let me go. This is bulls***. You’re bulls***,” he snapped, reportedly at Delaney, before walking away from the press gaggle, muttering under his breath.</p>
<p>Manchin had a similar exchange with reporters in the halls of the Capitol on Monday. As The Daily Wire reported, Manchin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/manchin-pushes-further-cuts-transparency-to-build-back-better-bill-citing-inflation-cbo-score">expressed his concerns</a> with the cost of the &#8220;Build Back Better&#8221; bill. He said that Democrats should curb the bill even more than it has already been, selecting their highest legislative priorities and funding them over the full 10-year life of the bill, rather than place arbitrary short-term funding plans in the bill to mask its true cost.</p>
<p>“It shouldn’t just be one year here, three years there, five years there,” Manchin said. “I think everybody has to choose, basically, what we can sustain. And that’s a ten-year program.”</p>
<p>Manchin also said he wanted to keep the cost of the bill at or below the $1.75 trillion dollar price tag that Democrats have placed on it. He voiced significant concern about rising inflation as well, saying: “Inflation is real, it’s not transitory. It’s alarming. It’s going up, not down. And I think that should be something we’re concerned about.”</p>
<p>Manchin&#8217;s comments also come amid reports that the Democratic-majority Senate has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-senate-gives-up-on-passing-bidens-build-back-better-in-2021">tabled the spending bill</a> for the remainder of this year over Manchin&#8217;s objections, in favor of another push for legislation that would overhaul the election system in the country. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had planned to put the bill to a vote before Christmas, but those plans appear to have stalled out.</p>
