"Climate activists interrupted an event with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Tuesday, shouting “dirty deal,” as he began discussing the Mountain Valley pipeline deal he secured in the recent debt-ceiling agreement.

“Dirty deal! MVP! Manchin, you are killing me! Dirty deal!” protestors chanted at the Semafor event, before storming the stage, according to multiple reports.

The West Virginia Democrat reportedly retreated to a back room for several minutes as about 20 protestors occupied the stage and sang the John Denver classic, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Manchin said he had tried to start a dialogue with the protestors with no success, Semafor reported."
