During a Harvard IOP talk on Friday at the Harvard Kennedy Institute of Politics, a confrontation occurred between Senator Joe Manchin and a climate protester affiliated with ClimateDefiance. The protester accused Manchin of betraying future generations for profit, using the phrase 'You sold our futures and got rich doing it, you sick f*ck.' The situation escalated when the protester was physically removed from the event by a security guard or an aide to Senator Manchin, with various accounts describing the protester being thrown to the ground. Opinions on the incident were divided, with some social media users expressing admiration for Manchin's response, while others criticized the physical handling of the protester.
