A group of climate change protesters boasted about blockading Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin's car on Thursday, accusing the moderate lawmaker of trying to run them over in his attempt to drive through a parking garage. "We blockaded Joe Manchin's car and he tried to run us over," a TikTok video posted by @hungry4climatejustice showing the confrontation states. "This is Joe Manchin's car slowly pressing into our peaceful protesters," a person says. That phrase, along with "F--k 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. The group said in its message, "[Sen. Joe Manchin], is the money worth selling our futures downriver?
