On Tuesday's broadcast of CNBC's "Squawk Box," Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) stated that Democrats decided workers in West Virginia were "not good enough, we're not green enough, we're not smart enough," and Democrats used to focus on "having a good job, having a safe place to work, having good benefits, take care of your family. All of a sudden, that wasn't the priority," and the inflation was caused by Democrats overspending in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic because "they had a social agenda they were going for."
