West Virginia's Senator Joe Manchin is a Democrat.
From MTV, "'Buckwild' Stars Don't 'Represent The Entire State Of West Virginia ''I'm not representing anyone but myself,' Shae tells MTV News after a senator's call to cancel the new MTV series":
Yes, in just two short episodes, "Buckwild" has become a bit of a sensation, an unapologetically unrefined ode to the Mountain State and all its splendor. Part "Jackass," part "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," it may have some of West Virginia's elected officials up in arms, but we can't stop watching, even if we're not sure whether we're supposed to laugh or cry while we're doing so.
Last month, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin demanded that MTV cancel the series, saying the show is a "travesty" and that it "plays to ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia."
No Republican elected officials in the State have called for censorship of the series.
