The Republican National Committee is attacking vulnerable West Virginia Senate Democrat Joe Manchin for accepting donations from drugmaker Mylan, which his daughter Heather Bresch heads.
The RNC bashed Manchin Thursday after Mylan announced it was laying off 500 people at a plant in West Virginia. Manchin has taken heat before from his opponents over Mylan’s decision a few years ago to jack up the price of allergy drug EpiPen by 500 percent.
“Amidst the layoffs and scandals, Mylan has continued to contribute to Manchin's war chest for his upcoming election,” an RNC bulletin said. “Mylan executives and employees contributed more than $50,000 to Manchin's campaign in the first quarter of 2018.”

That’s a shame to hear. Manchin was one of the most rational and reasonable Democrats in the Senate.
Manchin had to play Republican to get elected.
He might have been rational but he voted strict party line. so rational means nothing

No he's not. He's playing both sides so he can stay elected. You are an idiot for making a comment. I know what I'm talking about, my kin is from West Virginia and we haven't forgotten when he was Governor. Pay attention!

EXACTLY!! Tell that Dumb A$$ 7:39am that!!
Rational don't mean jack.
Lying, cheating, stealing, backroom deals, kickbacks, bribes, and payoffs.
THAT is what they ALL do.
Your guy, too, whether you like to hear it or not.
Going into politics is like walking into a treatment facility for the plague.
You might be clean when you enter, but after a few minutes, you are just another diseased, infected, dirty, and slimy entity.
My apologies to plague victims.
Begin the hanging.
Televise it 24-7.
"We, the people" need to start passing out "consequences" for robbing and stealing from us.
