Debt ceiling deal sparks controversy over pipeline expansion.

TL;DR
Keith Olbermann criticized Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin for inserting approval of a natural gas pipeline for West Virginia into the tentative debt ceiling deal agreement, calling him a "putrid, unreliable, sheep in sheep’s clothing." The 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline has been tripped up by dozens of environmental violations and court fights, and left-wing environmental groups have criticized Manchin's pipeline as bad news for the nation. Olbermann praised Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine for introducing an amendment to "remove the pipeline" and save Biden from "pi--ing away the prestige of kicking McCarthy’s a--."
