Manchin is responsible for increasing the income taxes on poor Americans with children by around 10%.

Canadian thugs used to grab indigenous men in the city at random, take them by car to the woods, then leave them to freeze to death. One victim, Darrell Night, was able to survive and blew the whistle on this practice of murder for fun.
