kind of an outlier among the caucus youre a libertarian youve often voted with republicans or often taken them on as well talk about the politics of joe manchin and kyrsten sinema do do you think they believe they they they they believe that they have a responsibility to pass this or are their politics better to strike an independent profile in their state justin amash l former michigan congressman i think theyre standing up for what they believe in in terms of their own situation and i dont see anything wrong with that this is like this is what drives me crazy about congress were supposed to send these 535 members of congress to represent us and theyre not supposed to just go and take their instructions from leadership and follow the leader theyre supposed to go there and represent their constituents and theyre the reason theres so much focus stephanopoulos well its a balance right amash sure stephanopoulos theyre supposed to represent their constituents and do what they think is right amash the reason yes absolutely theyre they have to i mean they have to follow the constitution first and foremost i mean thats thats their oath but the reason theres so much focus on manchin and sinema is because we dont have any focus on anyone else theres no one else participating in the process coaston well they also seem to be representing their constituents like lets lets be real here nobody else no other democrats are going to be winning in west virginia for the foreseeable future amash thats right coaston and weve seen kyrsten sinema be very successful in a reddish purplish state i think that thats one of the challenges here is that we send because of the nationalization of politics which is a hobby horse of mine we sent people to congress and are stunned when they do not act like the national party would have us believe but what the national party looks like is complicated like not all republicans look like steve scalise and not all democrats are going to be voting like yes like the most liberal gaspard yes theyre theyre brazile lets lets lets be clear we dont have a maga crowd inside the democratic party its not maga coaston no brazile joe manchin and kyrsten sinema are good democrats theyre good senators they represent their states and thats why when i hear people complaining about the progressives i say theyre good democrats theyre good americans theyre representing their districts the fact that were having this conversation within the democratic party is healthy gaspard it is healthy but lets also but lets also remember nationally seven in 10 americans support the provisions that are in this legislation including the majority of independents and a plurality of republicans so indeed this is all good policy as speaker pelosi noted but
