In a train wreck of an interview with far left internet news show The Young Turks, Joe Manchin seemed a bit confused, first claiming that he didn’t know who his top donors are, before acknowledging that controversial Big Pharma company Mylan ranks among his biggest donors. Since Manchin appears to be unsure of who is funding his campaign, here’s a quick reminder!

97% of Manchin’s donors so far this year came from outside West Virginia. And as has been well documented, Joe Manchin’s second biggest donor is Mylan, a Big Pharma company that has come under fire for ripping off taxpayers, and for engaging in price gouging on its life-saving EpiPen, shaking down families to pay for eight-figure pay raises for their CEO. And in case Joe forgot, Mylan’s CEO is HIS DAUGHTER! Surely he remembers encouraging his colleagues to be “open-minded” when investigating his daughter’s company (and second biggest donor).

“If Joe Manchin really doesn’t know who the big money interests funding his campaign are, he should give his daughter, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch, a call,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “When Mylan isn’t busy ripping off children with severe allergies and U.S. taxpayers, they’re more than happy to open their checkbook to fund the campaign of their biggest cheerleader in Congress, Washington Joe Manchin.”
