Dem Senator Thinks He Can

Get Trump to Sign Off on Gun Control

On March 26, the New York Times Magazine described Senator Joe

Manchin (D-WV) as “the Senate Democrat who… seems closest to

[President] Trump” and who believes he may actually secure gun control

under the Trump administration.

This news comes as Trump, the NRA, and others are pressing red state

Democrats to confirm Neil Gorsuch to fill the void left by Antonin Scalia

on the Supreme Court.

According to the NYT Mag, Manchin appeared on MSNBC’s Morning

Joe on December 14, 2016, the 4th anniversary of the heinous attack

in which 20-year-old Adam Lanza stole guns, killed his mother, then

went to Sandy Hook Elementary and killed 26 more innocents. While

on air, Manchin again voiced support for his pet gun control item —

an expansion of background checks in response to the Sandy Hook

attack.

Within an hour after his segment ended, Manchin received a phone

call from Donald Trump. And while he did not divulge details of the

call, he told NYT Mag reporter Robert Draper that he believes he

has “a complete opportunity” to secure gun control under Trump.
