As we have already reported, Joe Manchin actually came through two days ago when he changed his mind about a bill. The Republicans had voted for a program against Chinese Chip manufacturing based on the Democrats not passing the massive reconciliation bill due to Manchin’s objection. Clearly, the Republicans simply wanted to deny Biden a win and only voted for the obvious Chinese bill after being assured Biden lost on reconciliation.

SEE; JOE MANCHIN FINALLY COMES THROUGH FOR BIDEN VOTE: GOP SAYS THEY’RE PLAYED LIKE SUCKERS

So it was time for Republican payback and the Republicans voted against a bill that they all previously supported, one that does nothing more than provide more medical care for our veterans. It is one of the most disgusting displays of the GOP willing to shit on people, causing them to suffer, just to send a message and deny McConnell a win. And oh, they were proud of themselves for this disgusting move.

According to Newsweek:

Republican Senators have been criticized for fist bumping on the Senate floor after the GOP blocked a bill that would have expanded healthcare coverage for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their service.

On Wednesday night, the Senate failed to pass a Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act in a 55 to 42 vote.

All but one of the 42 Senators who voted against the bill were Republicans, including 25 who previously supported it in June. The Senate had to vote for the PACT Act again because of a technical change the House made to the bill.

Yeah, sounds like something they would do. Celebrate minimizing healthcare for vets who were around toxic burn pits. That’ll show the Dems!

WATCH:

This is the fist bump everyone needs to be talking about.
