Hi Senator. Can you comment on whether/how your financial ties to the coal industry, including the $500k in dividends you collect annually from the coal brokerage Enersystems and your relationships w/ the oil lobby impact your stance? We’ve also tried booking you on @thereidout…

It also seems, per the available polling, that the people of your state SUPPORT the elements of Biden and the House Democrats’ Build Back Better plan, including the climate crisis provisions. Who are you speaking for in opposing them? filesforprogress.org/memos/build-ba…
More on the proposal which you oppose, and it’s potential impact on your state, which has a very high poverty rate relative to the rest of the country, despite the enormous power you wield in the Senate. wvpolicy.org/the-build-back…
Indeed, West Virginia is America’s second poorest state as of this year, with a poverty rate topping 17 percent. Do you disagree that the benefits in the BBB plan would help your constituents immensely and lift many out of poverty? 
You are welcome to come on @thereidout to discuss, and our booking producers will keep asking. Thanks!
Oh! And one last thing! The coal industry is all-but dead. @Sen_JoeManchin do you disagree with the fact that the future jobs will be in green energy? If not, why not? e360.yale.edu/features/as-in…
“Its” not “it’s” in the previous tweet. This thing needs an edit feature!
