Sen. Manchin Snaps At Reporter Asking If He’ll End Filibuster: ‘What Don’t You Understand About Never?’

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) snapped at a reporter this week who asked him if he would ever consider ending the filibuster after he has repeatedly stated that he is not open to it.

“Pressure on Democrats from progressives to kill the filibuster is sure to mount as the party’s unfulfilled promises pile up,” Politico reported. “But lest we need a reminder, Sen. Joe Manchin, when asked Monday whether he’d ever change his mind on changing the supermajority rule, barked ‘NEVER!’ in response.”
