Teamsters President — Who Spoke at RNC — Slams Trump’s Position on Firing Striking Workers: ‘Economic Terrorism’
Dude tried to play both sides against the middle as the GOP was fumbling the ball.
^this take:
I recommend actually listening to the speech, he was very much not playing both sides
In this thread: "bothering to reach half the country who tends not to agree (or understand) your positions is icky".
Y'all need to get on board with diversity of tactics. Memeing on your ass isn't going to cut it alone.
The union's job is to empower the workers, like it or not, by getting inserted at the RNC, it will have a lasting impact.
Case in point, is it more impactful to hear a criticism of Trump from a DNC speaker or an RNC speaker? Wtf is the actual complaint here?
Lol if you think the bozo who is in a union and votes Republican will ever change their minds about anything. News flash buddy it's ain't logic they are running on. You might as well preach to a wall.
I watched his speech and I am not a Republican voter.
The leopards! My facccee!!
I thought it was a good speech in the right venue. Those asshat haven't heard anything like that. Trump looked confused.
Alternative Headline: Union boss who sold out for power flip-flops after angering its paying members and realizing he will likely lose current position next union election cycle. This and more at 11....
He didn't sell out for power.
He sold out because Teamsters leadership is racist as fuck.
Did he sell out at all though?
Yeah thats not happening
Looks like yeah actually it was pretty shitty for him to give that speech there https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/17/teamsters-sean-obrien-rnc-speech
This comment chain has illustrated how effective control over corporate media is. All I knew before was that he spoke at the RNC, and assumed the worst, which I'm sure was the intention. The content of his speech is definitely not widely distributed.
Here's the link to his RNC speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5WlI1LK1NY
Slams! Dut duh duh, dut duh duh. Let the boys be boys!
Well THAT'S a blast from the past
Come on and slam and welcome to the jam!
Pump up the jam
Did media ask him when he is going to rescind his endorsement?
He explicitly didn't endorse a candidate.
I don't think he implicitly endorced anyone either
Reading comprehension fail on my part
When did he endorse someone?
Dickhead trying to crawl back.
Maybe next time don't support someone that tried to overthrow the government.
Did they support Trump though? He spoke at the RNC but his speech was vehemently anti-Republican.
Yeah - I was the first to criticize him for thing there, but the speech was very pro-union and a slap in the face to the GOP. He walked into the lion's den giving double-fingers.
Honestly, as someone who lost their job, in part, thanks to Sean O'Brien, I really applauded his speech to the RNC. It was great.
He praised Trump, Vance, and other anti-union politicians in his speech. So, yes?
