Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) condemned “revenge politics” as Republicans resist his efforts to speed up the permitting process for energy projects, The Hill reports.
Said Manchin: “I’m hearing that the Republican leadership is upset and they’re saying ‘we’re not going to give a victory to Joe Manchin’ — Joe Manchin’s not looking for a victory. We’ve got a good piece of legislation that’s extremely balanced and I think it’ll prove itself in time. The bottom line is, how much suffering and how much pain do you want to inflict on the American people for the time.”
