President-elect Donald Trump, after threatening consequences for companies that move jobs overseas, turned to another Indiana company planning a move to Mexico, drawing a rebuke from former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Saturday.
"Rexnord of Indiana is moving to Mexico and rather viciously firing all of its 300 workers. This is happening all over our country. No more!" Trump said in a Friday night Twitter post.
Rexnord Corp (RXN.N), an industrial supplier based in Milwaukee, announced plans in October to move a bearing plant, and its 300 jobs, from Indianapolis to Mexico, employees told the Indianapolis Star at the time.

Move to Mexico, Bernie.
“Sanders the Sellout speaks from his $600k HillBatCave in VT eh?”
There is nothing on the left that is not a lie.
There is no one on the left who is not a liar.
I always learn something new from my fellow Freepers.
Dear Bernie,
if you really gave a rat’s-ass damn about Americans who want to find (or keep) jobs
you’d offer to help President Trump do it for us.
That is, if you really cared anything at all about us, including the 95+million Americans without any jobs at all AND the many millions more who are doing honest but very low paid or part-time gigs just to survive
if you care, you’ll offer to help President Trump get some American jobs back for us, and rebuild the USA economy
if you care, that is...
