Furious AOC says Manchin has no authority to speak on climate ‘for the rest of our term here’

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York criticised Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia for his call to pause discussions on climate negotiations, saying he has no authority to discuss climate change.

On Friday, Mr Manchin said that he wanted to pause negotiations with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on climate and taxation aspects in Democrats’ proposed social spending legislation that they would try to pass through reconciliation, which would allow them to sidestep a filibuster.
