Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN), who appeared on FNC’s Your World on Thursday, reacted to fellow Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV)’s change of course in his support for a reconciliation package.
The new Republican MP from Tennessee has declared a recession, citing the GDP contraction reported earlier this morning, and warned against raising taxes during a recession as the package reportedly delivers reconciliation.
“I’m not sure what changed Joe Manchin’s mind,” he said. “But it’s very different from what we thought and where we thought Joe was the day before. So I guess we were all surprised by that. The last thing you do, Neil, is to officially confirm that we’re in recession. When we’re in a recession, the last thing you want to do is raise taxes. And I don’t know how – I don’t know how the logic changed overnight. But of course it is – there’s a big difference from where we think Joe is.
