Manchin owns $5 million as well, which is why it seems a little weird that Khanna calls out Manchin's beholding to big oil, when he has $7 mill in ff stocks as well.

I have read that Khanna's stock wealth originated from his wife's investments.
But list under his name.

Ya know what?
I'm really getting sick of the political double speak on all sides.
Wtf. Who do we even trust to be straight with their words anymore.

You have to research every damned one of them for honesty. Cripe. This is getting really old.
