Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) wife, to be co-chair of a federal commission that works with states to strengthen the economy in the Appalachian region, the White House announced Friday.

If confirmed by the Senate, Gayle Manchin will co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership agency established in 1965 through which the federal government works with 13 states and 420 counties across the Appalachian region to help invest in communities and spur job creation.

Manchin, one of the more conservative Democrats in the Senate, has major influence over Biden’s agenda in a 50-50 Senate where Democrats have the slightest of edges over Republicans only with Vice President Harris casting tie-breaking votes.

That’s the reason Manchin will not join the Repubicns on anything. He’s sold his soul to Bicen/Harris/Obama cartel.

Josef Stolen now owns Manchurian. Manchurian is having a hearty laugh at the expense of stupid WV’s who voted for Trump, and then a Communist such as him.

Manchin's wife to co-chair Appalachian Regional Commission

What a slap in the face, at least Mitch's wife got a cabinet position AND a lucrative relationship with CHYna.

Just how big of a bribe was this? So out of curiosity I looked it up. In 2018 the then co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, Earl Gohl, made $165,000.

I’m guessing that Gayle Manchin will be doing even better than that.

Guess who will now vote for gun control, HR 1, statehood for DC and PR, and to do away with the filibuster?
