Joe Manchin blockaded in his car by climate protesters who claim he tried to run them over
Climate change protesters boasted Thursday about blockading U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s car at a Washington, D.C., parking garage, accusing the West Virginia Democrat of trying to run them over in his attempt to exit the structure.
“We blockaded Joe Manchin’s car and he tried to run us over,” stated a TikTok video posted by @hungry4climatejustice that showed the confrontation.
The clip shows protesters standing in front of and behind a luxury vehicle inside the parking garage, holding a banner while at least one person leans on the vehicle’s hood. Others recorded themselves on video while yelling at the driver. The constant sound of a car horn can be heard throughout but it was not clear if it was Manchin honking.
“This is Joe Manchin’s car slowly pressing into our peaceful protesters,” a person says.
The group chanted, “We want to live! We want to live!” That phrase, along with “F— Joe Manchin,” was the rallying cry of the demonstration aimed at convincing Manchin to support President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better spending package. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
