O-C is afraid Manchineel could switch off power to the House !

No

Why on earth would anyone trust Manchin? He's a Republican disguised as a Democrat.

Who gives a rats rear end what she thinks.

Senator manchin is a Republican in Democrat clothing.

With good reason.

Aw poor babies, so are they looking for a way to incriminate Joe, to get rid of him? After all, they’re just poor victims of the evil right. Funny, the left has no God, but they call us evil. It’s the other way around.

While I cheer Pelosi's continuance as House Speaker, I support old-school/new-school fights over Committee Chairs. This one's a prime example. Dem who fights for the COAL industry CANNOT lead Congress in 2018. JoeNeguse

She should be. Coal, has led the planet to the brink of catastrophic climate change. Ocasio2018

sort get the vibe...no COAL..

Welcome to the seniority system. You are now part of that world, so learn to work within it. Complaining doesn’t accomplish anything.

Grow up...

Sen. Joe Manchin (Basically R-WV) ? No way

She should concentrate on the House for now...

Reverse this and ponder the reaction to the headline: “Senator Manchin and other lawmakers express unease with the likelihood that Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be assigned to XYZ Committee”

Who explained to Ocasio what the energy and natural resources committee does. She’s most likely uneasy as she is still confused.

Good!

She is really getting annoying. She realizes that she is a member of the House and not the Senate right?

It probably would not take Sen_JoeManchin to switch over to gop after his re-election campaign. HouseDemocrats NancyPelosi best cool their heels! People of WV would love him for switching.

I have uneasiness that Ocasio2018 who doesn't understand difference btwn 6MM Jews killed by Nazi's dur Holocaust, 1MM Tutsi slaughtered w machetes in 100 dayus in Rwanda & 400K killed by own Govt in Syria w some by chem weapons & immigrants seeking jobs is actually in Congress

Reserve this and ponder response to the headline: “Senator Manchin and other lawmakers express uneasiness with the likelihood that Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be assigned to XYZ Committee”

I am a Progressive but certainly don’t see a need to have a Progressive in every leadership role. Remember the “ big tent” concept, guys?

Here we go, another community organizer who will say anything and do anything regardless of the cost... to gain power. Ocasio2018 2020 is next.

Manchón should not be on any energy committee. Period.

sounds almost republican

Manchin is not the right person to head that committee. Literally the fate of humankind may hang in the balance. climatechange

Please explain to AOC the need for a yin to every yang in order to maintain the status quo. Rookies! Ugh!!!

This is the problem with vote blue no matter who you end up with scumbags like manchin

Nooooooo RonWyden SenJeffMerkley SenSchumer Just NO.

I hope he does well. I am a little uneasy myself

As do I. That guy is a republican in democrat clothing.

Keep Mr. Coal off

Progressives should always be wary of Joe Manchin.

she's a nobody, who cares what she thinks

She knows she is in the House and Manchin is in the Senate right?

As they should, Manchin is a conservative ghoul.

It would be an absolute disgrace if Manchin leads this committee.

So convince Bernie to take it from him. This isn’t hard
