Isn't it is a sign of corruption and dysfunction in D.C. that Joe Manchin, a man who made a fortune off of coal, can chair a key Senate energy committee and block action on climate change? I asked his Democratic colleague, Senator Ed Markey. Watch:

I like Markey, but this answer is part of the problem.

Markey is not the one to condemn Manchin's corruption. He and other progressive senators need to gain what little support they can get from Manchin. Their margin entirely hangs on him, or they get nothing (no judges, no legislation, and wall-to-wall GOP hearings on Biden).

I assume it's because if Markey criticizes him on TV, Manchin will completely cut him out and he wants to accomplish whatever he can on the committee.
