Full Title............................Exclusive — Sen. Joe Manchin: We Need to ‘Educate’ Gary Cohn ‘A Little Bit Better’ on Crucial Role of Coal..........................Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), a Democratic U.S. Senator from the heart of coal country in West Virginia, told Breitbart News exclusively that he was shocked and disappointed in White House National Economic Council director Gary Cohn’s anti-coal comments in Europe this week.

Manchin said in the exclusive interview that he hopes that Cohn will allow him to “educate” him more on his uninformed anti-coal standpoint, and that he looks forward to a deeper conversation with the official from President Donald Trump’s White House.

“Yeah, Gary, I don’t know what the hell happened with Gary. Jesus Christ, what’s wrong with these people?” Manchin joked when asked for a response to Cohn’s comments this week that coal “doesn’t make much sense anymore.” Cohn’s comments run counter to President Trump’s position on the issue, too, since Trump said the “war on coal is over” with him as president. Cohn is a former Goldman Sachs banking executive.

Manchin told Breitbart News:

I’d tell Gary to check out the world consumption of coal, and tell India and tell China and tell all these different countries that are sometimes getting electrified for the

Good grief, had not read this comment Cohn said until just now.. I see now why some around do not like him.

[Chgogal]

Gary, the Imbecile needs to go NOW.

Here is a clue Gary, GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT MANMADE.

It's done by a woman aka, Mother Nature.

[Nifster]

Gary needs to shut up. He ain’t no acientist

[txhurl]

We need to be encouraging a ‘Jumpin’ Joe’ solution however we can.

Sen. Joe Manchin: We Need to ‘Educate’ Gary Cohn ‘A Little Bit Better’ on Crucial Role of Coal

I don't recall Manchin "Educating" Obama on the crucial role of coal.

[alloysteel]

Gary Cohn has been isolated on the island of Manhattan for much too long. And his association with Goldman Sachs, which has clandestinely supported the notion of global “climate change” for fun and profit, and mankind’s role in said climate change, all of which may be magically controlled by stripping away initiative and excess capital in the “wrong” hands, has shaped his thinking into channels which do not augur well for making America great again.

Gary Cohn does not catch subtle clues. It may take a pretty stern fetch upside the head.

“Gary, the Imbecile needs to go NOW.”

For the life of me, I don’t know why Trump has men like this in his inner circle. I really don’t see any reason for his being where he is. Same goes for Sessions, only he’s vastly more important than is Cohn. Every time one of these ignorant aSSholes opens his yap, they do inestimable damage to Trump’s agenda.

[Blue Highway]

Why in the hell did Trump hire a Democrat that was a Goldman Sachs banister? How did I not hear about him until now? He looks more like a deep state RINO than a liberal.

[Blue Highway]

Bankster not banister lol

[9YearLurker]

Goldman paid Gary GS Cohn (Dem-NYC) his $275M early so he could get into the administration and try to get that fantastic cap and trade business going for Goldman. Does he believe in “climate change”? You better believe it, baby!

[gibsonguy]

Gary Cohn is a problem along with Ivanka and Rex on the BS AGW stuff. I am sure they are the reason so many environment promises are in limbo while they try to persuade Trump to break them. One by one instead of actually acting on promises they are “under review”. CAFE, Paris and several others are out in limbo. If he breaks the Paris Climate Accord withdrawal promise this week we will know DJT has been turned by Ivanka’s gang. And look for a Carbon tax float after that.

[Chgogal]

Absolutely! The big movers and shakers of Wall Street don't give a crap about the environment. They want a new Bull Shit Product to sell to rich dumbass customers and then much later to suckers on Main Street.

[KC_Conspirator]

Gary Cohn is a mistake hire. Needs to get the boot.

I do not know. I am trusting Trump right now. This week will tell us much. The Paris deal. He goes with it then you know his ending war on coal will go away too, so will many of his voter base.

Count me in as one of those in his voter base.

[gibsonguy]

Agree, how he lands on the Paris thing this week will tell us a lot. I hope he knows how important it is to those of us who elected him. I would urge everyone to contact the White House and let them know. This climate crap is a deal breaker. It is the key to Power, Control and unlimited funding for the left.

[Fightin Whitey]

Joe Manchin is a Democrat and ought to be using his own deity to curse his Alllah-be-damned f’ing mother-of-Mohammed goat-and-donkey humpin’ political problems.

The filthy child-molesting flop of Shiite anyway.

[Reily]

Manchin has a very narrow tightrope to dance on. Maintain his viability as a major democrat player and get re- elected in in now very red WV. Can he do it? We shall see!

[shalom aleichem]

Who elected democrat Cohn President! ☺
