Manchin demands Biden apologize for 'outrageous' coal comments: 'Time he learn a lesson'
Scathing Manchin statement come just days before key midterms with control of the Senate up for grabs

By Tyler Olson | Fox News

Sen. Joe Manchin Saturday demanded President Biden apologize for saying coal plants "all across America" will be shut down, in a scathing statement just days before crucial midterm elections.

"President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs," Manchin, D-W.Va., said. "Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden and instead believes he does not understand the need to have an all in energy policy that would keep our nation totally energy independent and secure."

Manchin added: "It seems his positions change depending on the audience and the politics of the day. Politicizing our nation’s energy policies would only bring higher prices and more pain for the American people."

Biden Friday called coal plants too expensive to operate, and said renewable forms of energy will replace them.

"No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it. Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant," Biden said.

"So it's going to become a wind generation," Biden continued. "And all they're doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on, we're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power."

We have people running the country right now they have no clue about American energy needs but they know they hate it and want to get rid of it with a religious zeal that rivals the Palestinians desire to get rid of Israel
Manchin really believes he’s gonna apologize???

Apologize? More likely Brandon will turn into angry dementia man and tell Manchin to step outside so he can kick his @ss.

Will Manchin change parties after the midterms?

Nope.

[mountaineer]

I was thinking the other day that we hadn't seen or heard much of Manchin since the inflation bill debacle. Now he's back to being "W.Va. Joe who gives a rat's rear end about his constituents." Not buying it.

And no, he won't become a Republican.

[Hoodat]

When it comes to casting votes, Manchin supports both Biden and his policies.

[DCPatriot]

Hey Joe!  Want to teach Biden a real lesson?

Call an immediate press conference and announce you're switching to the GOP.

...do it BEFORE Tuesday.

Karine Jean-Pierre walks back Biden's 'twisted' coal comments: 'No one will be left behind'
Sen. Joe Manchin called Biden's comments 'divorced from reality' on Saturday

By Adam Sabes FOXBusiness

The White House is saying that President Biden's remarks stating he will be shutting down coal plants "all across America" were "twisted to suggest a meaning that was not intended."

Biden made the comments on Friday when discussing energy, stating that coal plants cost too much to operate and advocated for renewables as an eventual replacement.

"No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it," Biden said. "Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant."

"So it's going to become a wind generation," Biden added. "And all they're doing is, it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on. We're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power."

After backlash from people such as Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who called the comments "outrageous and divorced from reality," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden's comments were "twisted" in a Saturday press release.

"The President’s remarks yesterday have been twisted to suggest a meaning that was not intended; he regrets it if anyone hearing these remarks took offense," Jean-Pierre said. "The President was commenting on a fact of economics and technology: as it has been from its earliest days as an energy superpower, America is once again in the midst of an energy transition."

"Working closely with Senator Manchin, a tireless advocate for his state and the hard-working men and women who live there, President Biden has helped get this part of the country back to work:  the unemployment rate in West Virginia was 6.2% the last month before Joe Biden took office; now it is down to 4%," she added.

Will Manchin change parties after the midterms? 

To what? Independent? He's not a republicant.

[GtHawk]

When it comes to casting votes, Manchin supports both Biden and his policies.

Agreed, he'll hold out and pontificate so he can pretend to be a moderate back home but once he get's a big enough payoff then he's all in.

[Hoodat]

To what? Independent? He's not a republicant.

An Independent who votes with the Dems 95% of the time as opposed to a Dem who votes with the Dems 95% of the time.

[Cyber Liberty]

Screw You, Manchin.  You had a chance to be a man, and you blew it.

[Cyber Liberty]

To what? Independent? He's not a republicant.

I say let him stay a Rat, and we'll wipe him at his next election.

Just before election day, politicians throw out immense smoke screens to assure what so they are and were is not so.  After election so, the ones that got away with the deceit of millions succeeded, the lying deceiving politians successes, will be laughing their azzes off, LIKE USUAL.  Many will swear i never said what i'm on record of saying just before election day.  Fools will be gratified, then break out bawling like new born babies, like they ALWAYS DO!  THERE is a level of fools that is incurable yah know!
