Why is Joe Manchin the Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, given that he stands for everything such a Committee should protect us from? @chuckschumer

If the Democrats were a real party, Manchin would be stripped of his committee seats, lose financial support, face a primary opponent supported by Dems and ostracized for deviating from party agenda. Instead, the Dems threw a disappointment bomb at him
Just threaten this guy. A POS like him would probably cave. He doesn’t want to switch parties. That usually goes poorly for the flip flipper in their next election. WV is a solid red state. Lose the seat & fight elsewhere. He’s not worth the resources anymore. He hurts the party.
Forget the stand for who pays him thats the conflict of interest

Because it suits the Dems in control No other reason
You know why, Marianne - he has to be appeased for now because he could easily switch parties and Mitch McConnell will be majority leader. I 🙏 if we improve out majority he will be asked to vacate that seat.
Cause they’re all full of shit that’s why. Cmon Marianne
