We already know that Senator Durbin is the bigger liar and the most useless Senator from the Democratic side.
He has been lying consistent that Joe Manchin has gone back on his promise. It is not true. It is a lie Durbin created and his media supporters promoted.

Manchin has been consistent
A common theme in Democratic criticism of Manchin has been that Manchin is inconsistent. Last week, a frustrated Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said of Manchin, “I don't know where he is today or where he'll be tomorrow.” Similarly, his colleague Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) said that “at this point, it’s kind of a moving target when it comes to Joe.”
Yesterday, the White House picked up the theme: “Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again.”
The narrative of an inconsistent Manchin is at odds with the record. Manchin has been consistent. Here was Joe Manchin yesterday on Fox:
Pick what your prized priorities are … and you fund them for ten years, and you make sure that you deliver the services for ten years.
And here he was on October 21st:
The thing that I'm very much committed to is if we're going to tell the people we're paying for something and the revenue is a ten-year revenue, then the program should be for ten years. If it was important enough for us to have new revenue, adjust our tax code, then the program should last for that. If not, you're not being genuine and saying: Well, we're gonna pay for it with ten years of revenue, but we're only gonna have a program for one or two or three or four years.
In other words, Manchin has been saying the same thing for months. The October statement was a response to a House Progressive push for a front-loaded scheme. I also wrote about this, just a few hours before Manchin’s statement.

Your objectivity is clouded by your blind hatred of Durbin - how much ever messy he might have been. Manchin is an idiot and the biggest turncoat of all. A year ago he was all for filibuster talking reform and now no. Even with BBB he had his OWN version that he floated and now he’s not for that either!? Ofcourse his corporate donations from Meta, koch and other evil corps grew 5X bringing in his highest donation windfall. No coincidence there. He’s an ex state senator, ex governor and now Senator of one of the POOREST states in the US. He knows how to play the $$ game for himself is an open secret in DC.
