Climate Activists Are Now Falsely Claiming Manchin Tried to Run Them Over
[TOWNHALL] Radical climate protesters blockaded Sen. Joe Manchin
...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents...
’s car on Thursday and then claimed he tried to run them over in the parking garage."We blockaded Joe Manchin's car and he tried to run us over," states a video posted to @hungry4climatejustice’s TikTok account of the incident."Pass climate change bills!" screamed one of the activists.

"This is Joe Manchin's car slowly pressing into our people protesters," said another.

Several then began shouting "we want to live!" While others could be heard chanting "F*** Joe Manchin."

The effort was part of an attempt by the progressive left to pressure Manchin into supporting the massive reconciliation bill.

The group's Twitter account also shared other videos of them harassing the West Virginia Democrat before the garage incident.

Other progressive accounts picked up on the encounter and the false claim that Manchin was trying to run them over.

#1 I believe Manchin handled the situation well, being stalked from his yacht to his SUV, and extricating himself from the parking garage, showed me calm perseverance. While I am not a Dem, and politics in this situation is not directly on the table, his handling of this situation shows me a the mark of a strong, balanced mindset.
Disagree - But think, if it were you, what would you have done, under pressure, when a mob was after you and or members of your family or staff.

#2 So I guess we are not doing the Human Extinction Movement thing anymore.

#3 I noticed these antics are never performed in West Virginia.

#4 Charge them like the J6 detainees.

#5 "blockade his car" -- in a normal country with rule of law this would be called assault, a felony deserving prosecution and probably a prison sentence.

#6 Typical passive-aggressive behaviour perfected by weaklings - get in someone's face and if it goes south or fails, then claim you're the victim.

Manchin, in a Maserati, should've lit up the tires (hit the brakes - power burnout) and gave them a smoke show.

#7 It should be legal to run these idiots over.

With additional tax breaks as incentive.

#8 ^-- and then charge them or their surviving families for any damages to the car.

#9 OT (or maybe not): Why does the People's Representative from West Virginia drive a Maserati?

Could it be, just possibly, related to his daughter's sinecure atop a heavily-regulated pharma company?

#10 I'm okay if he ran them over. Maybe force the survivors to wash and clean the vehicle afterwards. After all, nobody wants to touch dirty hippy parts.

#11 I'm thinking a James Bond Q-like person could rig a lethal force field for the Mas. Hey, I can dream!

If I could drive (buy) a Maserati, I WOULD. A 2021 Maserati is $94K (low end, higher end is ~$150K) and apparently a damned fine car. Less than many cars (and more than many). A vette would be more 'me' though.

#12 The under-chassis flame thrower that was sold for a while in South Africa would work too.

#16 I want a mine flail on my car. No need to 'push' anyone out of the way.
