WASHINGTON –U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement in response to reports that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) had flip-flopped and now agreed to support Sen. Schumer’s original massive social welfare bill:

“Senate Democrats can change the name of Build Back Broke as many times as they want, it won’t be any less devastating to American families and small businesses. Raising taxes on job creators, crushing energy producers with new regulations, and stifling innovators looking for new cures will only make this recession worse, not better.”
