Joe Manchin Fires Back at Democrats Accusing Him of Ending Humanity

Following the release of the latest inflation numbers, which showed June CPI at a whopping 9.1 percent, Sen. Joe Manchin quickly changed his tune on the renewed negotiations over Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda. While Democrats were hoping for a slightly watered-down reconciliation bill that still included gobs of money for “climate” provisions, Manchin let it be known that he wouldn’t support a dime on such nonsense in the middle of an inflationary boom.
That sent the left into orbit, with activists and Democrat politicians alike accusing Manchin of ending humanity and making the planet unlivable.
Joe Manchin’s decision to kill off sweeping US climate legislation has been called “nothing short of a death sentence” for younger people and a livable climate on Earth, amid an outpouring of anger and despair from activists, scientists and even many of the US Senator’s Democratic colleagues…
…“Given the US’s role as the leading all-time carbon polluter, it is difficult to see global action on climate without US leadership,” said Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Penn State University, who called Manchin “a modern-day villain, who drives a Maserati, lives on a yacht, courtesy of the coal industry, and is willing to see the world burn as long as it benefits his near-term investment portfolio”…
…Even some of Manchin’s party colleagues weighed in. Jared Huffman, a Democratic member of the House of Representatives, called Manchin a “wrecking ball” and a “very corrupted, compromised man”.
