AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Monday condemned the damage caused by rioters to the union group's headquarters in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.
"We categorically reject those on the fringes who are engaging in violence and destroying property," Trumka said in a statement. "Attacks like the one on the AFL-CIO headquarters are senseless, disgraceful and only play into the hands of those who have oppressed workers of color for generations and detract from the peaceful, passionate protesters who are rightly bringing issues of racism to the forefront."
Rioters smashed windows and spray-painted explicit messages on the headquarters of the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest union federation with more than 12 million members. Businesses, offices and even churches throughout Washington, D.C., were also damaged.
But today... does anyone know if they have ordered comfort animals for their staff yet? Or would they have to do virtual comfort animals due to the Covid-19 work from home situation?
Wake up Democrat low life. Obama & Soros, etc., will make mincemeat of you all, the second they take power. If you fools think they are with you....you all been smoking too much reefer!!! The hand writing of your fate is clearly written on the wall for you all to see!! “DUMMIES”!!!
F commie unions
I am pretty sure that they have been smoking crack, not reefer.

Add PA Pittsburgh and PA Harrisburg to your list.
Note that Pittsburgh ends in a “g”, but Harrisburg does not. It’s history, man!
I meant note that Pittsburgh ends in an “h”, but Harrisburg does not. Russian hackers changed the letter.
..."Unless we do it!"
I know I should not laugh, but Trumka deserves this...
Watch them raise union dues to cover the damage.
AFL-CIO money very likely paid the expenses for many of the Antifa terrorists who damaged their headquarters.
Pardon me as I enjoy the sublime taste of the schaudenfruede.
The damage may have eliminated certain business records....
Pfft.... what a thought.
I say the whole thing was Staged and want to see the Fake $20 that started it...
I copied this from someone’s post:
According to the store clerks, George attempted to make a purchase with a fake $20 bill. The clerk refused the money.
George left without incident but decided to hang out in front of the store, just standing around.
In the meantime, just for practice, the clerk notified the police of the incident. The police then rushed right over because, you know, police in big cities are usually free to rush over to check fake $20s from people who have already left the scene. Happens all the time.
Imagine their good fortune to find George still standing there. That’s what most people do after being caught with a counterfeit bill, right? Just walk outside and stand there.
I find it odd that these two men, Derek (the officer) and George, may have known each other well. They used to work together for 17 years, apparently.
I find it odd that the cop had his hands in his pockets while he put his knee on his friend’s throat. Very odd.
I find it odd that they did not just put him in the back seat of the cop car. They were literally standing right next to the door.
I find it odd that a man who couldn’t get air was able to yell out repeatedly for a very long period of time, and did not struggle to live. Why didn’t he call for help with all those people standing around filming him? He just laid there and passively “died.”
I find it odd that they just stood there and let people film this.
I find it odd that most of Derek’s weight is on his right knee, the one on the ground, not the left knee on his friend, George.
I find it odd the paramedics arrived on scene, approached so nonchalantly, then placed Derek’s very much alive (?) friend, George, into the ambulance without any sign of urgency.
I find it odd that Derek’s neighbors never knew he was an officer. They stated they never saw him wearing a uniform coming and going.
I find it VERY odd that a cop started the riots. Thank goodness for an ex who outed him.
I find it odd that nearly everyone who was arrested for rioting and looting were from out of state.
I find it odd that the National Guard was not brought in earlier, and that they were unable to get these riots under control immediately.
I find it odd that these staged events only happen in Democrat run cities.
I find it odd that this “racist” narrative happened shortly after Biden’s racist comment last week. I knew they were trying to distract us from something.
I find it odd that this happened just as COVID loses traction. Social distancing SUDDENLY flew out the window. Let’s hope the masks and fear soon follow.
I find it odd that COVID happened the moment the impeachment failed.
I find it odd the impeachment happened the moment that Russian hoax failed.
Can you see the pattern? Will you continue to chase the well orchestrated carrots? Or is there something in you that will stop for a minute and look for the truth?
This is very interesting.
Still a tragedy.
Since the counties aren’t going to put teens in jail with virus prisoners there should be a mandatory clean up sentence and fine. That is good for 60 years.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
It’s a shame that they didn’t riot near and burn down the NIKE headquarters...

Imagine their good fortune to find George still standing there.

He was sitting in his car. They took him out. On video.
Check your research.
Actually there is a story. Over century ago post office wanted PA towns to all drop the h. It’s German, by the way...burgh means town (and berg means mountain). Pittsburgh didn’t like it and lobbied to get it back, which eventually did, prob about 1920. Check out baseball cards not to mention maps.
Don’t quote me but in essence that is what happened!
