Former West Virginia senator Joe Manchin said it was “unconscionable” to see Democratic lawmakers protest every facet of the president’s first address to Congress.

Tuesday was President Donald Trump‘s first speech to Congress since taking office for the second time. Four senators boycotted the speech altogether. Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was thrown out of the Capitol for loudly interrupting Trump as he spoke. Other Democratic members protested with signs and by wearing black or pink.
