Joe Manchin actually said...

Do people just defy the accuracy or the logic of this that do not want anything touched in these areas, and these are pristine areas, I understand. But still yet, if I am going to preserve a pristine area, I am going to make sure that we are able to allow it to flourish and grow and dying timber does absolutely the opposite.

Context

Manchin argues for forest management to prevent decay in pristine areas.
