Joe Manchin said "Let's see if our Republican colleagues believe that we should not have a rogue proxy, such as Rudy Giuliani or anyone else on behalf of the president or a senator or anyone in an elected position on a federal level, that's able to use the surrogate to go and use the power of the office they're representing and say so-and-so sent me and you tell that person, I'm going to send somebody, and pretty soon, they're going to be submissive of what they ask for. That's not who we are as a country." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
