One thing I have to give the crazy communist “progressive” House Democrats credit on. They are punking phony ass Joe Manchin by not allowing his permitting reform bill that he was promised after Manchin funded 87,000 new IRS agents. He also supported the Green New Deal in that pathetically, falsely named “Inflation Reduction Act”. Now loser Manchin is basically begging House Republicans to help get his permitting form bill over the top in the House. Sadly, with RINO traitors like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Eye Patch McCain Dan Crenshaw and so forth, he’ll probably get their votes.
Manchin went begging of course on “Fox News Sunday”.
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Manchin begged his Republican colleagues to support the deal he secured with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to reform the energy permitting system in the U.S. Manchin’s deal is flailing because of opposition from both Republicans and progressive Democrats. If the Senate cannot reach a deal, it may jeopardize a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown.
“[T]his is a chance in a lifetime for us to have energy independence,” Manchin told host Shannon Bream. “For us to have security in this nation, which we need, and making sure that we can take care of the American people with low energy prices, producing more oil, producing more gas. But we have to have permitting reform if you’re going to deliver it. You have no way of infrastructure to deliver it. So, everyone knows that. My Republican friends know that.”
Manchin dismissed an alternative piece of legislation put forth by 46 of his Republican colleagues, calling it a “messaging bill”; and claimed that his bill includes everything in the Republican bill.
