Manchin vows to fight implementation of IRA as ‘radical climate agenda’
The Hill ^ | 08/16/2023 | AL WEAVER

Posted on 08/16/2023 8:41:12 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Wednesday said he will keep up his battle against the Biden administration and officials who seek to “undermine” the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as part of their “radical climate agenda” on the first anniversary of it being signed into law.

The West Virginia moderate, in a lengthy statement on the anniversary of the IRA being signed into law, praised parts of the legislation, which he helped author. Manchin lauded the IRA as “one of the most historic pieces of legislation passed in decades,” especially for middle- and working-class families. He also hailed its work to reduce the national debt, lower prescription drug prices and cap the price of insulin for seniors.

Only in government-speak can a bill that spends way more money be said to “reduce national debt”.

If Manchin was concerned about the country, he wouldn’t have voted for this piece of crap in the first place.

Pretty amazing how many decades Manchin has been able to talk out of both sides of his mouth. He must have taken lessons from Mitt...

Paragrah 2: “which he helped author” i.e, he helped write the bill.

He did, and he still praises parts of it.

He’s saying that the administration is twisting or breaking that law to avoid saying that he made a mistake or was tricked into voting for it.

He may have a mind of his own, but he also realizes that straddling the fence can be so lucrative. One way to win reelection in West Virginia may be to bring home a load of bacon.

He does have some fans here on FR. For some folks, he seems to benefit from the inverse of the old "one aw $#!+ erases a thousand attaboys" rule.

This fool is putting on an act in order to fool the people of WVa to reelect his liberal ass. His overall voting record is abysmal.

What a jerk. Why did he support it in the first place, everyone knew it was a radical climate scam?

He’s a dead man walking in W.V. No way those coal miners are going to support him in 2024 regardless of what the corrupt union leaders say. Without the union vote he’s got nothing.

Manchin is a political whore:
You know it.
I know it.
Anybody who pays any attention at all to politics knows it.
And most importantly, Manchin knows it.
