Democrat Senator Joe Manchin wears the purple tie today as he answers questions from the DC legislative narrative engineers. There are two videos below. The first is a general presser with multiple members of the DC media (print journos) about the Green New Deal energy bill he negotiated with Senator Chuck Schumer. The second video is an interview between Manchin and Fox News host Harris Faulkner.
Unfortunately, in both the presser and the direct interview no one pins Manchin down on where “expanded energy production” of the bill is located. Manchin claims there is legislative language in the deal that supports the fast domestic production of oil, coal and natural gas to meet the immediate issue of skyrocketing energy prices. However, Manchin is a smooth operator, and he states confidence that rapid and expanded development of oil, coal and gas is part of the deal. WATCH:
Here’s the segment with Harris Faulkner trying to pin him down on tax increases, energy production, inflation and the 2024 election.

It is crazy how everyone is suprised, he is a politician, if his lips are moving he is lying. Remember the snake story, never change.
Term limits, was never supposed to be a full time career.
Typical. They shut things down and at the same time say they support fast production of oil, coal and gas. Liars, each and every one.
I wonder where Joe’s offshore account is and how much was deposited?
Only the Chinese would know the details.
Another professional politician who should be thrown out along with the other garbage in DC.
Oh but Americans (West Virginians) are so enamored with their favorite politician.
Our political system should be discarded it allows for too much corruption.
Americans generally aren’t moral enough to make the Constitution work.
The Constitution is a great document but the people are morally bankrupt.
They are human filth.
Even though Obama Man keeps getting elected the locals in WV don’t like him or trust him has a lot of family bad business secrets
What respect I held for Manchin has today completely evaporated.
This man works in bovine excrement like artists work in oil or clay.
He is clearly getting in position for a Presidential run in ’24.
I’ve never understood the concept of this 15% minimum corporate income tax on corporations with revenues in excess of $1 billion. The tax rate on all corporations, as Manchin himself pointed out, is currently 21% on net profit. If they’re not paying taxes, it’s because they are not recording any net profit. So what difference does it make if the rate is 21% or 15%? It’s so stupid that it insults my intelligence.
