Climate group protests outside of where Manchin docks his houseboat

The heat directed at Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., burned a little closer to home on Thursday as climate protesters demonstrated outside of where he docks his houseboat in Southwest DC.

"This action in front of his yacht club is to highlight that he is a bought-out politician," said Kidus Girma of the Sunrise Movement, which has endorsed the Green New Deal.

Manchin, a perceived moderate in the Senate, has been frustrating progressives as he holds up a controversial spending package with billions in climate and energy investment. Other signs mentioned "free community college," "paid family leave" and "pathways to citizenship."

Girma said the group wanted the full "Build Back Better" agenda, for which, Girma said, President Biden isn't fighting hard enough.
