    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A clip of a protestors confronting Senator Joe Manchin, the moderate West Virginia Democrat, went viral on social media Friday.

    Manchin has also come under considerable fire over the years for his opposition to some green energy policies and efforts to combat climate change.

    On Friday, the activist group Climate Defiance shared a clip to X, formerly Twitter, of their members confronting Manchin during a meeting at the Harvard Kennedy School with vulgar language and weighty accusations.

    “Joe Manchin, you sold our futures and got rich doing it, you sick f***,” one of the group’s members, a young man, can be heard saying in the clip.

    “Joe Manchin has betrayed West Virginians for decades, enriching himself by selling their future to the fossil fuels industry,” user Piyush Mittal wrote.

    “Not a Manchin fan by any means, but these kinds of stunts are immature and move no one toward the cause they supposedly are fighting for,” Democratic strategist Chris D. Jackson wrote.
