Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is not welcome in the Democratic Party, the New York Times reports.
Said McConnell: “Why in the world would they want to call him a liar and try to hotbox him and embarrass him? I think the message is, ‘We don’t want you around.’ Obviously that is up to Joe Manchin, but he is clearly not welcome on that side of the aisle.”
