Sen. Joe Manchin and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg respond to taunts by President Trump in a similar way.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., aka “Joe Munchkin,” said Monday that he wasn’t bothered by a flurry of weekend taunts by Trump, who has singled him out, along with Mitt Romney, R-Utah, for abuse for his vote in the Senate impeachment trial. Trump was acquitted of two articles of impeachment brought by the House, with all 47 Senate Democrats voting to convict him, joined by Romney on the first count, which charged him with abuse of power.
Manchin’s height is listed at 6'3" on the website of the West Virginia University Mountaineers football team. He was a recruited athlete but never played as a result of an injury. Trump lists his height at 6'3" also, although that statistic has been disputed. On Saturday, evidently before the “Munchkin” inspiration struck, Trump wrote: “Can’t say I mind the fact that the great people of West Virginia are furious at their puppet Democrat Senator, Joe Manchin.”
Manchin, who in 2018 won another six-year term to represent West Virginia, was asked about the possible consequences of voting to remove a president from office whose margin of victory in his state was 42 percentage points in 2016.
