Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) said that he doesn’t regret being the only Democrat who stood and clapped when President Donald Trump strongly condemned late-term abortion and infanticide during his State of the Union speech.
Pictures of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) glaring at Manchin from behind as the West Virginian stood, smiling and clapping, went viral, highlighting a growing divide between old-school liberals like Manchin and freshly elected Democrats like the young Ocasio-Cortez who have increasingly tried to move the party to the far-left.
