Why does Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin) oppose everything and anything in the Biden BBB plan that helps fight climate change or that in any way impacts the financial future of the dying coal industry? Well… it could be because he’s in the coal business… Occam, meet Razor.

If Manchin is threatening to quit the Democratic Party to force them to give in & leave climate change out of the reconciliation bill, the obvious question reporters he does talk to (he won’t come on @thereidout) should ask is: DOES YOUR OPPOSITION RELATE TO YOUR COAL INTERESTS?
@JoyAnnReid @Sen_JoeManchin Or maybe because it’s a huge industry in his state….
@JoyAnnReid @mehdirhasan @Sen_JoeManchin And… Sinema opposes any inclusion of measures to raise the taxes of the wealthy. Over $400k. Which would kick the stool out from under the Build Back Better payment plan. So, no climate|no budget=no where
@JoyAnnReid @Sen_JoeManchin Lining his pockets and then jumping ship.
@JoyAnnReid @Sen_JoeManchin The goal is to prevent the collective movement upward by African Americans, by any means necessary.
@JoyAnnReid @Sen_JoeManchin Is Manchin really willing to sell out the needs of the American people so that he can remain in the upper tax bracket, and pretend he is protecting the interests of his constituents?
@JoyAnnReid @Sen_JoeManchin Also, he’s really a Republican.
@JoyAnnReid @Sen_JoeManchin couldn't we just put "joe manchin gets ten million dollars if he votes for this bill" into the bill?
