Joe Manchin actually said...

The United States Senate has never in 233 years been able to end debate on legislation with a simple majority vote. Allowing one party to exert complete control in the Senate with only a simple majority will only pour fuel on a fiery political whiplash. Eliminating the filibuster would be the easy way out. It wasn’t meant to be easy. I cannot support such a perilous course for this nation when elected leaders are sent to Washington to unite our country, not to divide our country.

Context

Manchin argues against eliminating the filibuster, stating it would lead to one-party control and division in the country.
