A climate activist group is bragging about a confrontation with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) at Harvard University, during which one of its members was thrown to the ground after denouncing the pro-oil and gas Democrat with an outburst of profanity.
In an interaction filmed and shared by Climate Defiance, Mr. Manchin is seen sitting at a table when a group of protesters enter the room and have him surrounded. The protesters took issue with the role the senator played in facilitating the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a $6.6 billion natural-gas transmission project spanning over 300 miles, from West Virginia’s northwestern border to southern Virginia.
