Climate change protesters abandon 2-week hunger strike and swarm Sen. Joe Manchin's Maserati

The day after young climate change protesters from the left-leaning Sunrise Movement ended a two-week hunger strike the group switched tactics.

With a banner that said, "Joe Manchin is burning our future for profit," over 100 protesters gathered at 6 a.m. ET outside of the Capitol Yacht Club where his houseboat (where he lives while in DC) is docked.

The protester's demand during the hunger strike and the confrontation with Manchin? Pass the reconciliation bill - particularly without cuts to measures aimed at addressing the climate crisis.

They also demanded that Manchin be ousted as chairman of the US Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

...disappear.
Fast recovery to the Manchin protest, cameras again rolling, the starving & hospitalized drama was like a week ago....

Don't they do Republicans? Nope. Just Democrats.
These are from Waleed Shahid's Momentum Movement youth cult.
Btw, their Momentum training also covers their antisementic education.

If you did, have fun with Interstellar. And Rocky Horror. And Independence Day.

They found a way of getting attention. I wonder if they TikTokked it for likes.

...die right there in front of the Capitol.
They videoed Momentum loading a kid after just 4 days into their 'hunger or die trying' show, into a luxury SUV, & later in the ER moaning from huger. Biden its all your fault!

Next up they're hauled off to a Manchin protest again.

Who's transporting these kids to targeted events? Cameras ready.

Who organizes these political events & uses kids to push an agenda only targeting Democratic leaders?

Momentum Movement & Waleed Shahid.

It isn't a just a TIKTOK thing.
And Btw, I don't even have the TikTok app.
It is multi media messaging distributed by the old guys at Momentum Movement.

4. Nobody dies from hunger in a few days. That's ridiculous.

They think nobody's familiar with fasting?

I laughed, & they were mocked online for wimping out after only four days without their avocado toast.

The whole event where these s----s show up is staged & they can't care too much about the environment, considering how may carry petroleum based plastic disposable water bottles, & their phones with the toxic-&-water-wasting-mined lithium batteries.

They need to up their game because they're looking a bit too hypocritical as they are now.

.

For the worst owner satisfaction in low double digits.

My dentist had one and it was in the shop more than on the street.
