A far-Left protester was thrown to the ground after he confronted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) during an event on Friday and called the senator a “sick f***.”
The incident happened at a Harvard Institute of Politics event Friday morning just minutes after multiple leftists interrupted a talk that Manchin was giving at the Harvard Kennedy School because of his support for natural gas pipelines.
“Joe Manchin, you sold our futures and you’ve gotten rich doing it,” the protester claimed. “You sick f***. How dare you.”
Manchin immediately got up in the protester’s face, at which point one of his aides got between the two men. The aide then literally threw the protester out of the room.
The protester was apparently from a group called Climate Defiance, which posted on X: “We just called Joe Manchin a sick f***. We humiliated him in front of a herd of Harvard elites. He squared up. We held firm. Barbaric murderer, hideous fiend, he torches humanity and laughs.”
Manchin then addressed the other protesters and offered to sit down and talk with them, but they refused and declared they were not going anywhere.

A Kennedy School spokesperson confirmed that the Harvard University Police Department was investigating the incident.
“A Harvard University police officer ordered the protesters to leave the Kennedy School campus, and the protesters complied,” the spokesperson said.
