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.
Tell Richard Trumka to come up with 14 trillion in reparations and this all goes away.
Heh, if this was the AFLCIO in the sixties, or maybe better yet the teamsters, the message would just be, “come back tomorrow night and try it again”
You reap what you sow
Finally some good news in all of this.
Thug on thug crime.
Sorry Trumpka, but you union bitches encourage violence when your demands aren’t met. Glad you got a little taste of it, except no heads were bashed in unlike some of your and your allies’ previous accomplishments.
The Democrats have opened the Pandora’s box of marxist ideology and are now reaping the rewards. The mob has gone after many traditional Democrat icons: CNN, AFL-CIO, Hollywood. The Dems think they put an end to this by blocking Bernie Sanders and his socialist hordes, but the socialists are not buying Biden. They want revolution and they will walk over Biden’s body to get there. The only question is when President Trump will drop the hammer.
Sorry your supporters are a bunch of savages.

Actually the democrat party ("those who have oppressed workers of color for generations") are encouraging the violence.
Now that’s funny. Wanting Tromka talk out of both sides of is mouth is like drinking a mug of liberal tears.

Stupid rioters! Limit your property damage to liquor stores, department stores, churches and police cars!
Sheesh. Some people.

Tough. The liberals support these rioters but just hate it when they are the targets.
