Senator Joe Manchin’s Dirty Secret, Episode 1217

The Mop Up For February 26, 2021

Topics: West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin doesn’t want you to know where his daughter Heather’s 50 million dollar fortune comes from. How his connections got her a job at one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. Or how he helped her get away with lying about her MBA, or how she price gouged Americans on EpiPens, jacked the price up by 600 percent and then moved her pharmaceutical company to The Netherlands to avoid paying taxes. He doesn’t want you to know any of this because he’s a Democrat who opposes an increase in the minimum wage, and the people of West Virginia, the poorest state in the Union, would be appalled by how greedy and craven he and his family of grifters are.
