    Sen. Joe Manchin gets self-awareness checked after blasting Biden's promise to shut down coal plants

    twitchy.com


    Yesterday President Biden, speaking in Illinois, decided that using the Hillary strategy just days before an election was the right approach. That meant that Biden let voters everywhere know that his goal is to shut down coal plants all across the country:

    Those comments of course caught the attention of Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin, who perhaps hopes nobody noticed that Biden has been emboldened to say such things because of his support:

    Um, who wants to tell him?

    good going, stupid. this is your fault.

    Voters in West Virginia can let Manchin know what they think about all this when he’s up for re-election in two years.

    Biden's words were disgusting. So was Manchin's decision to vote for the "Inflation Reduction Act," which not only increases inflation but accelerates the end of coal.

    For some reason Manchin’s staff thought this “how it started / how it’s going”-style self-own was worth featuring on his Senate website:



    Way to go, Joe!

    Here’s the entire statement from Manchin:

    Charleston, WV – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) released the following statement on comments President Biden made about shutting down coal plants.

    “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. 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. 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.

    “Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me. Being cavalier about the loss of coal jobs for men and women in West Virginia and across the country who literally put their lives on the line to help build and power this country is offensive and disgusting. The President owes these incredible workers an immediate and public apology and it is time he learn a lesson that his words matter and have consequences.”
