"Off fossil fuels, Manchin! Off fossil fuels!"
There is a rhythm to the chant that makes it stick in a person's mind, even after they've stopped hearing it in the clip. On Friday, climate change activists from the organization Climate Defiance confronted Sen. Joe Manchin at a diner in New Hampshire. The West Virginia Democrat — who in November announced that he is "traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together" — can be seen in the footage calmly suggesting to the protesters, "Let's go ahead and talk."
