Powerline: Sen. Joe Manchin is the leading contender to become the senior Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Manchin, however, is pro-coal, as befits a Senator from West Virginia. And when Manchin ran for the Senate in 2010, a campaign ad featured him shooting a bullet through a piece of “climate change” legislation.
The left wasn’t amused then, and it isn’t amused now. Tom Steyer has joined environmental activists in calling on Sen. Chuck Schumer to keep Manchin out of the Ranking Member spot.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, whom the New York Times describes as a “White House aspirant,” said this of Manchin:
He supports Donald Trump’s dirty energy agenda. He simply can’t be trusted to make the bold, progressive decisions we need.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also weighed in. She stated:
I have concerns over the senator’s chairmanship just because I do not believe that we should be financed by the industries that we are supposed to be legislating and regulating and touching with our legislation.
The young airhead apparently is unaware that, because the GOP controls the Senate, Manchin will not chair the Energy Committee. more here
“…touching with our legislation”? Like a sledge hammer touching a piece of glass?
There needs to be an over/under on when she gets fitted for a drool cup….
But they love their coal fired electric cars!
Denizens of The Bronx and Queens: Recall this cretin, Cortez, before she does some real damage to your counties. Start the ball rolling before she is “inaugurated” and starts wandering through
the “three chambers” in search of a pot, and, like, signing bills and things, and soupinaing people and things like that.
Yes I know its subpoena.
