Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said in a written statement on Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle scheme will only empower China.
Manchin, the chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, railed against the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) vehicle emissions standards, which will try to push Americans toward purchasing electric vehicles. He said:
The EPA is lying to Americans with false claims about how their manipulation of the market to boost EVs will help American energy security. In reality, this is a Trojan horse. To meet these timelines will mean strengthening our reliance on minerals and technologies controlled by the Chinese. Taken in concert with the clear violation of the IRA to undermine provisions that would actually secure these supply chains, this Administration is taking steps that will only result in a more energy secure and powerful China. I don’t believe that making progress on climate change should come at the expense of our national and energy security. I fully support Congress overturning these dangerous EPA regulations.

If he runs as an Indie, he will split the GOP vote.
Think about that one, my good FRiends
Manchin is such a sap.
He’s Charlie Brown and Biden is Lucy with the football.
When will the entire white house fleet be only electric vehicles?
FU Munchit.
Is Manchin that stupid that he doesn’t realize that’s the whole point of Biden’s scheme? It’s nothing more than Obama’s “Cash for Clunkers” scam all over again.
Its election time.
Hard lefty Joe has to play conservative again . Wink Wink.
There must be a senate election coming up in West Virginia.
“...I don’t believe that making progress on climate change...” Another retard who believes our solar system is static (by extension the Universe) and never took a 7th grade astronomy class. Now he could be in on the climate/control scam but doesn’t seem smart enough.
Good question!
Start by electrifying his plane (Dementia Force One).
Could you imagine an EV Beast? Thing probably wouldnt be able to go more than 20 miles.
It will bankrupt the American taxpayer.
Biden Electric Vehicle Scheme Will Only Empower China and any other nation that wants to pick a fight with the US. Biden is China’s best friend and America’s nightmare.
We know what Manchin is as that’s already been decided. They are now just negotiating on a price.
He pretends he has just now discovered this about China. He certainly had no problem in finally signing the “Green Deal Inflation Act.
Wait till the first electric school bus mysteriously catches on fire with kids in it. That’ll change the view on EV fast.
Whore says what?
Well if its a TeslaBus, the doors will lock and the bus will become an air fryer.
Well .... whaddayaknow ....
Munchkin was last elected to the Senate (with only a plurality of the vote) in 2018!
