I don’t know anything about Sen Joe Manchin except that he is a Democrat who obviously values his relationship with “We The People” of West Virginia who voted him into office.
Probably a lot of (older) Americans not from West Virginia think of people from these parts as crazy backward mountain white rednecks who play a mean Banjo and screw pigs in the woods thanks to the brilliant Clown PsyOp movie, “deliverance”, designed to make Americans feel sorry for corporate city slickers at the expense of hard working West Virginians.
The real irony is that West Virginia ranked 42th among the other states in a 2019 study of clinical psychopathy. Though not a state (yet), Washington DC had twice the level of clinical psychopathy has the highest ranking state, which was Delaware.
