Sen. Joe Manchin Defends Misnamed IRA in Davos, Switzerland

Joe Manchin, the rather pathetic, has-been U.S. Senator from West Virginia, is sitting his bum in Davos, Switzerland, wining and dining and hobnobbing with leftist elites from around the world at the World Economic Forum. Manchin, you might recall, sold out the United States by voting for the Green New Deal, renamed to Build Back Better, and further renamed to the Inflation Reduction Act (see Tragedy: Joe Manchin Caves & Agrees to Big Green Build Back Better). Manchin did so after cutting a deal for the Senate to vote on a "permitting reform" bill that would, in essence, save the Mountain Valley Pipeline project from languishing in regulatory and litigation hell (see Joe Manchin Cuts MVP “Deal” in Return for Selling Out Country). It was a bad trade as the permitting "save MVP" bill has still not passed. In Davos, Manchin is trying to repair his tattered reputation, saying the Inflation Reduction Act was/is a good thing.
