    Reminder: this is the same Teamster that spoke at the Republican convention, making these comments to Tucker Carlson.

    You probably shouldn’t take this at face value and assume this was her attitude toward labor in general.

      A major union head went on Tucker Carlson’s podcast… gross. Harris could have done more to appeal to workers, but this dude can’t paint himself as a neutral politically-impartial leader!

          It’s not that the union head should be neutral. The head of a union should be openly and unapologetically pro-union. Going on a podcast and agreeing with someone who is right-wing extremely anti-union, is a very bad and traitorous look for the head of the union.

      It’s bullshit on it’s face. Biden told Congress they should pass the PRO Act, Harris echoed that ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

      One of the provisions of the PRO Act is to gut right-to-work laws by allowing Unions to collect dues from every employee at a Union shop.

      So the guy is just lying about that, of course there’s no way for me to know if she wagged her finger in a Teamster’s face.

        It’s imbecilic to make a comment like this when someone is making it explanation of something else.

        If all you have to say in this thread are childish insults and attacks, degrading from the conversation and not contributing to it at all, leave the platform, no one wants you here. Go back to Reddit.

          How can you still be defending a campaign that failed so miserably. It failed, learn something from that or get used to losing your whole life

          OK I don’t have a dog in this regatta, but I gotta say you making a comment calling out someone providing nothing but insults that itself contains nothing but childish insults that also contributed nothing is fucking amazing.

          I would say this is some peak reddit right here, but I don’t really think its an insult or care enough about another website to invoke its name.

            Yes, democrats are vegetative. You can see my comment history, im the first one to point that out. But you are even worse than democrats if you actually thought that trump was the winning option.

                🤦

                I’m going to assume you are being intentionally obtuse. Its very simple.

                Trump bad.

                Any other option good in comparison.

                Arguing good option bad means you are arguing in bad faith.

      With who her enemy was, it doesnt matter who she said it to. The fact that she had to say it in the first place means Teamsters is an enemy of the country.
