Michael Greenberg continues, “Masquerading as a local-yokel, aww-shucks, down-to-earth, country-boy populist, Joe Manchin is a multi-millionaire and a murderer. None of that is hyperbole. He is "worth" (lol) $7,000,000. This is because he has a personal coal company that pays him $500,000 per year. And yes, he is a murderer - this personal coal company of his, which he founded, drives 9 local deaths per year in West Virginia.”

The Climate Defiance founder continued, “Manchin shoved down our throats the Mountain Valley Pipeline. If completed, it would transport 2,000,000,000 cubic feet of fracked gas every day. It would have the impact of 2 dozen new coal plants. Yes, we ruined his day. No we did not apologize.”
