I get hiderated a lot for my less than tactful opinions of people in politics. So I will try my best to contain my language in assailing this senator and his bad seed daughter Heather B. where the B can stand for Bresch or something else.
I wrote a diary last week in which the main point was Manchin created this monster known to the corporate world as Heather Bresch, CEO of Mylan. He got her into Mylan. Through his influence, he got her access to key people in the regulatory world. His influence played a part in getting her a fake MBA.
Some people said we had no clue what the senator thought about his daughter and that he had no control over her despite Heather using Daddy’s influence inthe past. Well, after a very vague non commital response earlier, Manchin comes out and not only defends his daughter, but praises her and says how proud he is of her. Motha……..r.
"Her heart is pure as can be and she's the most generous person i know," Senator Manchin said. "She helps every one that she can. She's very compassionate about all her fellow workers and she loves West Virginia, so I just tell her to be who she is. I said, 'You know the facts will come out.'"
Senator Manchin, like his daughter, believe the price of EpiPens is not just a Mylan problem. He's asking Congress and American citizens to look at the other entities involved in the pharmaceutical drugs industry.
"You know, what people should be asking is why are prescription drugs so costly?" Senator Manchin said. "All of them. And with that being said, on the EpiPen controversy, it sells for $608. Everyone's been lead to believe that Mylan gets all $608. Mylan gets $274."
While the backlash may continue, Senator Manchin remains supportive and believes his daughter, along with Mylan, will resolve these issues with consumers in mind.
"I'm very proud of her continuing to work hard and face the critics that she's facing and bring the facts out and be looking for changes that's going to help everybody," Senator Manchin said. That's what she'll continue to do and she'll find a pathway for it."
Sorry, I know dailykos has all these kind of policies about not discussing taking down democrats. But if a third party person with principles stood against this guy, and I was in that state, I would not hesitate to vote this guy out to teach others a lesson not to take anything for granted. Other may not agree. But at least, we need to make him fearful of losing his seat if he is going to keep doing this kind of crap. You just can’t let him be this comfortable. He needs to be scared that he could lose an election because of his daughter’s greed and his praise of her.
