The only adult on the Democratic side.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) on Wednesday chided his fellow congressional Democrats for not standing out of respect for President Donald Trump during the State of the Union the prior night.
CNN host Alisyn Camerota asked Manchin about the decision of most Democratic lawmakers not to stand for Trump as he entered the joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
“Did you see disrespect on the part of Democrats?” Camerota asked.
Manchin criticized both Republicans and Democrats for disrespecting the president of the opposite of party.
“I’ve seen it on both sides. I was there when Obama gave speeches. I was there on that horrible night when he said ‘you lie,’ and I saw them not standing,” Manchin said, referring to when Republican Rep. Joe Wilson (S.C.) interrupted a speech that then-President Barack Obama delivered to a joint session of Congress in 2009.
