They’re Either Too Young Or Too Old

A U. S. voter isn’t surprised that Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, New York Congresswoman woman from New York and a democratic liberal, fails to see eye to eye with Joe Manchin, a conservative democratic Senator from West Virginia. But a public dustup over age is surprising. Manchin at 7
