Wooing. That’s what Gates is proud of. He put the pressure on Joe Manchin to betray West Virginians and get Biden’s climate agenda pushed through.
Gates gave pep talks to Schumer by phone over the Manchin problem, and “quietly lobbied” Manchin, not to mention others reluctant to sell their souls for solar bankruptcies.
Listen and then read on.
From Bloomberg:
It was the middle of July — with temperatures surging through one of the hottest summers in US history, half of the country in drought — and the Senate’s all-important member, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, had slammed the brakes on legislation to combat global warming. Again.
That’s when billionaire philanthropist and clean-energy investor Bill Gates got on the phone with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, whose job it was to hold together the Democrats’ no-vote-to-spare majority.
One of the world’s richest men felt he had to give one of the nation’s most powerful lawmakers a little pep talk. “[Schumer] said to me on one call that he’d shown infinite patience,” Gates recounted in an interview last week, describing for the first time his personal effort to keep climate legislation alive.
And …
Gates started wooing Manchin and other senators who might prove pivotal for clean-energy policy in 2019 over a meal in Washington DC. “My dialogue with Joe has been going on for quite a while,” Gates said. “Almost everyone on the energy committee” — of which Manchin was then the senior-most Democrat — “came over and spent a few hours with me over dinner.”
Just think how the media treats it when rich Republican donors talk to Republican politicians. But this is all hunkey-dorey for the MSM, in fact they are fawning over it.
Everything is the propaganda state. Everything is the sham. It’s everywhere and the Democrat controlled media is how they all get away with it.
Consider this an OPEN THREAD.
