[ballerbf]

Her dialogue gave me zero confidence anything will happen.

[tylerhackner]

We can’t be at the whims of one corrupt senator

[leonardharris]

What can people do to get him out of office? He is not for the people, vote him out. Can we vote him out of office?

[robinrock]

Talk about the $450, 000 for each migrants

[Mike.]

Manchin, is an old white man from West Virginia what else do you want to know?

[mountainfisher]

ANYONE That Thinks Talking Sense OR Showing How This Is Good For The Country To A Greedy Person Is Wrong. mancin KNOWS What Side His Bread Is Buttered, And It's NOT On The Side Of Helping OUR Country OR Its Citizens.

[dauveewllm]

I don't know why they continue to waste there time, that devil is not going to move, he's on the side of the Republicans

[tonybruno]

Let's be clear this isn't about Manchin. This is about Biden who won't fight.
As much as I hate trump I guarantee he would have threatened to primary him.

[jerraldpresident]

Vote blue no matter who Roland? 1877 all over again!!!

[pjseries]

looks like too much begging to me... thats what happens when you have no power

[Nigerian-born_American]

I hope that they’re meeting to discuss reparations since Biden giving it to illegals

[WLOUIS]

This means for the rest of his senate tenure we as African Americans need to block any and all of his agendas

[Jarhead-teid]

Roland I see you’re not talking about migrants possibly getting money? Seems your pretty quiet on that subject gatekeeper.

[Mr.Musicman]

Manchin needs to be voted out and the bigger goal is to elect more people during the midterms where people like Manchin and Sinema don't have such a hold on the caucus

[cbfbmc]

listen to Malcolm X Ballot or Bullet see how to apply it to today situation.

[denisea.monsanto]

Mr. Roland Martin keep asking the hard Questions..❗

[michaeldouglas]

What about the Floyd Bill waiting to be passed. What is the black carcus doing about putting pressure on the senators on that issue.? We have come complacent.

[larrylittle]

I heard the senator (manchin) say that he was against some parts of the build dack better bill because he believe that america should not become a nation of entitalments, which is a kind of an amusing statement coming from a southern white man.

[mikehoward]

That aluminum foil plan Sounds a lot better than no plan but at least we got Juneteenth and more George Floyd statues
