Crazy Bernie Sanders
Last week roughly one-third of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives wrote a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi to let her know they do NOT support a proposed bill amending a Continuing Resolution (to keep the government running) that would streamline permitting for pipelines and all-but-guarantee Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) gets completed (see Fellow Democrats Welsh on Manchin Permitting Reform/MVP Deal). The permitting reform bill was the price Senator Joe Manchin extracted from his fellow Democrats in return for his vote on the horrible Inflation Reduction Act. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer assured Manchin the permitting reform bill would get passed. Yet last week, Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont (i.e. Crazy Bernie), delivered a fiery speech on the Senate floor saying hell no, he won't vote for it. We're not surprised. But here's the shocker: An opinion columnist who writes for and is employed by Bloomberg has just published a column that says Crazy Bernie is wrong, and Joe Manchin is right, when it comes to MVP.
