    Jeet Heer Retweeted Seung Min Kim

    Given this, it really feels like his refusal to vote for Tanden is strictly a demonstration thing & not related to anything about the nominee (certainly not tweets). Manchin wanted to show a little independence & Tanden was the unlucky pick.https://twitter.com/seungminkim/status/1364671816921473024 …

        I will also chalk it up to pettiness about her comments about his daughter. Senators contain multitudes within themselves

        Also confirms how much of current conservative policy is just shit-posting by the terminally online. Tanden was arguably the most conservative nominee in the domestic policy arena.

        If Neera Tanden needs to be sacrificed so Joe feels more comfortable about killing the filibuster, so be it.

        Maybe he also had a personal angle since Tanden apparently made some negative comments about Manchin's daughter.

        Neera has a demonstrated and long term history of lacking judgment in wildly public spheres. That’s disqualifying and not random
