Corrupt Joe Manchin Deals A Death Blow To The Entire Democratic Agenda

Sen. Joe Manchin is back at it again ruining the Democrats’ entire agenda after telling leadership that he is not on board with the party’s climate change and a tax increase for the rich policies. Who could’ve guessed that a coal company owner, who is also the top recipient of fossil fuel lobbying bribes, would disagree with subsidizing green energy and increasing taxes on the rich and big corporations? Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Caroline Johnson discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia informed Democratic leaders Thursday that he will not support any new climate spending or tax increases targeting the wealthy and large corporations, sinking his party's revived push for renewable energy investments and further undercutting the country's ability to rein in carbon emissions.

While Manchin's refusal to endorse green energy funding may have been entirely foreseeable given his close ties to the fossil fuel industry and his role in tanking the Build Back Better package just months earlier, climate advocates nevertheless voiced dismay at the power one individual has been able to exert over a process with implications for billions of people across the planet.

"This is nothing short of a death sentence," warned Varshini Prakash, executive director of the youth-led Sunrise Movement. "Our democracy is broken when one man who profits from the fossil fuel industry can defy the 81 million Americans who voted for Democrats to stop the climate crisis. It's clear appealing to corporate obstructionists doesn't work, and it will cost us a generation of voters.””
