DINO Manchin Likes Coal, Yachts, Big Money, But Not West Virginians

C’mon Joe. Man Up!

West Virginia is a red state. Seventy-nine percent of West Virginians want the Biden Build Back Better Bill.

West Virginia’s Democratic Senator Joe Manchin is blocking passage of that bill.

Millionaire Senator Joe Manchin has made his fortune off coal. The coal industry is a big supporter of Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. The coal industry, along with big oil, is lobbying hard against the Biden Build Back Better Bill.

Guess who DINO Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia is listening to???

“West Virginians have been trying to reach Sen. Manchin every way we know how to tell him we need this bill to bring jobs to WV, to extend the Child Tax Credit for our families, to expand access to healthcare, to fund the home care our elderly and disabled community members deserve. 79% of West Virginians want this bill! And yet, Sen. Manchin is still blocking it. He’s not listening to us, he’s listening to Big Money. That’s why we’re here at his yacht in DC today”. Loretta Young, Executive Director of Race Matters WV.
