BREAKING: After Joe Manchin voted against the child tax credit, child poverty increased from 5.2% to 12.4%.
Congressman Jamaal Bowman TORCHED him. 👇
Your state “has one of the highest child poverty rates in the country.” Bowman wrote.
Then it got really good.
“Great job. And I mean that with sarcasm and incandescent rage.”
Then Bowman then said Democrats could win big if they just worked together.
“Your vote to lapse this program was a betrayal of the American people, especially your constituents in West Virginia.”
After the White House expanded the child tax credit in the American Rescue Plan, child poverty was cut by 30% in 2021.
Bowman also went after Kyrsten Sinema: 👇
“You and your comrade from Arizona have joined the dark side to hold our progress hostage.”
“70% of Americans support the tax credit. How do you sleep at night?”
“Children who grow up in poverty are more likely to have health problems, drop out of school, and commit crimes. They are also less likely to succeed in life.
The child tax credit is a way to break the cycle of poverty and give all children a fair chance.”
Bowman urged Manchin to change course:
“We can bring the credit back.”
“And if you continue to choose to be a disgrace to our party and our country, then at least have the dignity to RETIRE.”
🔥🔥🔥
Smash the 💙 if you support the child tax credit and can’t wait to make Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema irrelevant!
Today we honor the memory of all the brave souls we lost 22 years ago. May we always remember their stories, the courage of our first responders, and the sacrifices our troops made to protect us in the years that followed.
