Joe Biden Laments Death of ‘Close Personal Friend’ AFL-CIO Head Richard Trumka
Breitbart ^ | 08/05/2021 | Charlie Spiering

President Joe Biden reacted to the news of the death of AFL-CIO Union President Richard Trumka on Thursday at the White House, calling him a “very close friend.”

“He was more than head of the AFL-CFO, he was a good, close, personal, friend,” Biden said at an event at the White House.

The president said that Trumka died during a camping trip with his grandsons, reportedly of a heart attack.

“At least he was with people who adored him,” Biden said shortly.

Trumka was 72.

“We’re sorry for your loss, Mr. President,” one White Hosue reporter replied after Biden finished speaking about Trumka.

He was more than head of the AFL-CFO, he was ...a HUGE fundraiser for us and got those union guys to vote for us and gather the ballots for harvest.

Can someone please explain to me how CEOs of companies and companies as a whole can be fined greatly or have lawsuits brought based on showing partiality through acceptance of gifts and/or close relationships and associations? Yet Government nobodies can do all of the above with no repercussions?

The age old question when this happens is:
Are you hearing the angelic choir or are you feeling the burn?

I like Hoffa too, but he wouldn’t play ball, you saw what we did to him, not Trumka, he was great and wanted to play along, always had the money, never late, and never gave a whit about selling out his members....

Commrade Trumpka was a regular visitor to the Obama office. If Joe was awake, he saw the Communist plotting in live action.
