Dem senator unloads on White House for agreeing to fast-track gas pipeline in budget deal
Fox News
Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine criticized a provision of the debt ceiling deal agreed to by the White House this week which fast-tracks a massive pipeline in his state.
"I mean, look, I want Joe Manchin to do well. I don't want him to falter," Kaine reportedly said. "I want Joe Manchin to do well, but I mean, this is a Virginia project, and they didn't even bother to pick up the phone and call me. Have I made them mad? No, I'm the one they call to try and get Cabinet secretaries confirmed. 'Go talk to your colleagues, they're not yet going to vote for Julie Su. Go talk to somebody else because they're not going to-'" Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"They call me and ask me to help out. So, like, what did I do wrong all of a sudden? And it's not about me — this is about taking people's land. People talk about a pipeline as if it builds in midair. No, it's taking people's land in the poorest part of my state. Lands is the only thing they have sometime. It's been in their family for generations."
