SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV (WOWK) — It was a dramatic night at Shepherd University in the eastern panhandle as protesters briefly shouted down West Virginia’s two U.S. senators. Fortunately, no one got hurt.
More than a dozen protesters took the stage at Shepherd University Thursday night, disrupting the “Beyond Pepperoni Rolls” forum with U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (I) and Shelley Moore Capito (R). The forum was moderated by MetroNews “Talkline” host Hoppy Kercheval.
The group is concerned about climate change, and its belief that both West Virginia senators are still too supportive of the fossil fuel industry. Campus police came to the stage and cleared the protesters.
“West Virginians are dying while you rake in fossil fuel profits. How dare you?” shouted one of the demonstrators.
No one was injured, but this is a recurring problem for the senators.
“Let me explain. Those are what they call climate defiers, okay? It’s a radical group. They won’t even come and sit and talk to me. They don’t want to talk about anything of what we have, and what we have to have. We have to have energy to run this country while we invest in energy we want for the future,” said Sen. Joe Manchin, (I) West Virginia.

Let them live two weeks with the Amish (I mean the real Amish) and they will change their minds on fossil fuels.

“West Virginians are dying while you rake in fossil fuel profits. How dare you?” shouted one of the demonstrators.Obviously an independent thinker right there parroting Pippi Scornstocking. Someone needs to let these dopes know that like the Causeheads in PCU, their angry elf hero has moved past climate change to the next worldwide cause of the Palestinians.

I wonder how many of the protesters are West Virginians. Shepherdstown is short drive from DC.

It was a Deep State rent-a-mob.
And we all know that Deep States nowhere hire the front office appearance types for brains.

Right on target! The modern world they enjoy is built on cheap plentiful energy aka fossil fuels.

That’s what I think as well. Protesting over climate is a rich kids commie crusade.

Campus police came to the stage and cleared the protesters.The logical thing to do would be to protect the stage and not allow them access to it from the outset.

I don't know where I got that from. It was right around the time she burned with the envy and anger of a thousand suns because President Trump showed up at the UN and not just stole her thunder, but completely ignored her. Everyone was coming up with names for her and that was one of them. And it's always good to look at a picture of the fun.

Exactly.
Find out where they live and cut off their water and electricity.
Make them live up to their own rules.
