A Washington Post op-ed slammed Joe Manchin for his comments about a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports as Democrats debate resuming spending push.Sen. Joe ManchinNBC's Chuck Todd asked Manchin if he supported a no-fly zone on Sunday's"Meet the Press," noting that it"could trigger a wider conflict."
Manchin continued to say that he would be"very clear" in signaling support for Ukrainians and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Todd and Manchin also discussed the Zoom call that some members of Congress had with Zelenskyy. "That Manchin could brush aside those consequences with just three words — 'I understand that' — is disappointing, but not surprising. A wealthy U.S. senator would be among the last people to feel the direct consequences of a bigger European conflict. He won’t be flying the fighter jets, or feeling the pain of spiking gas prices," Downie wrote.
