Climate Change Activist Thrown to the Ground After Confronting Senator Joe Manchin at Harvard
“You sold our futures and you got rich doing it. You sick f***!”
A member of the activist group ‘Climate Defiance’ tried to confront Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) at the Harvard Kennedy School this week. Manchin was there to give a guest lecture.
As the protester began to speak, Manchin rose from his seat when a member of his staff got between them and then grabbed the young man by his jacket and tossed him out the door.
The Washington Examiner reported:
Joe Manchin confronted by climate protester at Harvard: ‘You sick f***’
Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) aide threw a climate protester to the ground after a tense interaction.
In an interaction filmed and released by the environmentalist group Climate Defiance, a protester surprised and vigorously denounced Manchin at a Harvard event, prompting the West Virginia Democrat to get to his feet to confront his antagonist. After holding Manchin back, communications director Jonathan Kott grabbed and threw the protester out the door, sending him tumbling to the ground.
“You sold our futures and you got rich doing it. You sick f***!” the protester said, prompting Manchin to rise from his seat and attempt to get into the protester’s face. “How dare you? You have sold our—”
The protester’s last line was cut off after he was tossed out of the room.
The group touted the exchange as favoring them, releasing an edited video showing the interaction.
Climate Defiance thought this was a win?
BREAKING: we just called Joe Manchin a sick fuck. We humiliated him in front of a herd of Harvard elites. He squared up. We held firm. Barbaric murderer, hideous fiend, he torches humanity and laughs. pic.twitter.com/1ajrQsKnbJ

Here are a few reactions:
Anyway, the White House specifically cited this organization’s support in a press release. Just thought you should know that, @JoeManchinWV. You deserve it from your own team. https://t.co/zJPQBGquKK

Bonchie of RedState comments:
Perhaps one day these climate activists will learn that they don’t have a right to harass and inconvenience others just because they suffer from mental delusions. Today was not that day, though, and the bill came due. Honestly, it’s a testament to the self-control of the average person that these people don’t end up punched in the face more often. I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do. I’m just saying I understand that people have boundaries.
This isn’t complicated. Do not accost people in public. Do not block roads. Do not throw soup on valuable paintings. If climate activists would do something besides act like lunatics, they might draw more support. Instead, they are actually hurting their cause, and that’s just fine with me.

I love the smelly, drum-beating bleating chanters of couplets. I join in and chant “Get A Job…Take A Bath” just to try and outcrazy them. It really works well to play a harmonica in a foolish way.
It’s like the Iran-Iraq War. The only loss is if they stop fighting each other.
Seeing that this was at the Hah-vahd Kennedy School of Failed Leftist Politicians the twerp is lucky they didn’t lock him in a car and drive him off a bridge.
It’s a shame that the whole Anti-American Left-Fest wasn’t brought to a crashing halt and completely swept away by a tsunami of radioactive wastewater.
Good riddance! This punk needs remedial education in freedom of speech
Caning would be better.
Turn the tables on them like the gent in England.
Ask how they got there, fossil fuels.
How do you heat your homes, fossil fuels.
Your clothing, fossil fuels.
Cell phones, fossil fuels.
This is the remedy the ‘by any means necessary’ ghouls have chosen.
The malignant narcissism of climate activists is very dangerous. The spirit of genocide is evident if you listen to their speech. They are planning to “cull” hundreds of millions of people to save the planet and enslave billions more to bare subsistence agriculture.
How does one defy the climate?
That would be technology, would it not? Things like central heating?
FAFO
This fills my heart with joy 😂😂
Pilate: Ah! Thwow him to the fwoor.
Centurion: What, sir?
Pilate: Thwow him to the fwoor!
Punching them in the face is the right thing to do.
I loved it
But did Manchin come back?
If not, they do win
These people are insane. Moving towards natural gas and away from coal for power production has allowed the US to make massive reductions in our ‘carbon footprint’ which is ostensibly what these people care about, right?
But no, stunts like this reveal their true objective, which is to take us back into the stone ages. What they are advocating would quite literally doom billions of people to lives of poverty, and kill hundreds of millions, perhaps, billions, of people.
One apparently needs an ivy league education to express themselves as eloquently as this protestor..
good job by the security/staff member–neutralize the threat and distance them from their target–notice how he’s holding the “protester”–excellent self-control
corto y derecho
Some of these climate change “activists” will become climate change terrorists and seek to do real harm to anyone they deem a climate denier. Will the FBI be on them the way they are on Christians?
Off Topic – sort of.
Speaking of blocking roads, the NY Post has an article today of an explosive device having been found in a Uber vehicle in NY City. The anti-Israel./Pro-Arab demonstrators delayed the NYPD Bomb Squad from getting to the device promptly. Luckily it did not explode, but eventually these tactics of blocking roads will result in people dying (if they haven’t already done so).
pro-“Palestinian”. The Arabs don’t want them either. Their only reason for being seems to be to deny Israel its historic homeland for even longer. There’s no Arab consensus in that direction, in fact I’d say the opposite except for a few like Iran (not Arab, and a revolutionary government not a regular one) and maybe Syria.

The guy should’ve been arrested.
In Massachusetts, I’m surprised the staffer wasn’t. I’d recommend he confine himself to the other 49 indefinitely, and I’m sure he won’t mind.
Not a fan of Manchin but when he came out of his chair towards the climate bro I’d have taken 10:1 on him slapping that beta male into next week.
