Teamsters President Reminds Ocasio-Cortez Union Members in Her District Support Trump
“So she may want to focus on her job instead of mine.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lashed out at Teamsters President Sean O’Brien because the union did not endorse Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
The national Teamsters leaders claimed the union could not reach a clear consensus, even though internal polling showed 60% supported Trump.
Then the union said no endorsement came because neither candidate made “serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business.”
State Teamsters chapters have endorsed Harris.
Well, O’Brien hit back on CNN:
O’Brien: She should maybe get in her district where they voted far Republican, far-right Republican and maybe find out what the problem is. When I have a problem at a worksite and there is criticism I get right in there and find out what it is.
Bash: What do you mean far-right Republican? She’s a Democrat. Oh, you mean among Teamsters.
O’Brien: In our polling, New York, her district, voted overwhelmingly Republican to support former President Donald Trump. So she may want to focus on her job instead of mine.

But she’s doing her job — being an ignorant, loudmouthed gadfly.
We desperately need McCarthy back…
(Joe, NOT Kevin) 🙂
love that the workers love trump
Sorry the teamster leadership are wuz’es
Isn’t that true of most union leadership? I’m pleasantly surprised that the union hasn’t backed Harris. Usually union leadership (all unions, not just the teamsters) seems to ignore their members opinions on politics and follow what will line their own pockets.
Teamsters, the United Way of labor unions.
will the heads of these institutions be necessary after the body rank and file decide what they want are more important than the grifters in the dnc, in whose pockets the union heads are in? how plastic of the union heads to say they will not endorse a candidate the members want. unions are no longer necessary.
