The president of the AFL-CIO stepped down from a council advising the White House on Tuesday, hours after President Trump reiterated that both sides were to blame for deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va., where white supremacist groups rallied over the weekend.
"President Trump’s remarks today repudiate his forced remarks yesterday about the KKK and neo-Nazis," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement.
He announced that both he and AFL-CIO leader Thea Lee would step down from Trump's Manufacturing Advisory Board.
"We must resign on behalf of America’s working people, who reject all notions of legitimacy of these bigoted groups."
Trumka said earlier Tuesday he was still considering whether to leave the advisory board after Trump condemned racism as "evil."
But Trump's blame of the "alt-left" for charging white supremacist and neo-Nazi protestors prompted Trumka and Lee to leave the board.
Why was Trumka on this board to begin with??? Trump needs to realize that Leftists will NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HELP HIM OR THIS COUNTRY!
We had to suffer through 8 years of an overtly racist , anti- Christian, and anti- Semitic (and patently unconstitutional) dictatorial regime 2009- 2016). Did the afl-cio union boss protest at all, or ?
Nah, 0bama and Trumka had their noses up each others you know what.
More win
I hope these advisory boards all get in some very high level useful information about upcoming projects
Getting invited to the WH would also be great!
If Trumka is not representing labor unions then Trump should find a replacement
feh...
Who gives a crap. His members stand with TRUMP!!!!
[Especially when their own members were getting screwed by the Obama administration.]
Yes, and voting for Trump in droves in the rust belt.
Lumpka is a political pimp.
Trumka is a Communist.
He ised to head the Mine Workers Union.
Hey Trumka, how have the Democrats been treating your mine workers?
“Trumka is a Communist.”
Absloutely!
#draining the swamp. corrupt as holy heck.
Grandstanding hypocrites..wouldnt live in a minority neighborhood if you paid them off
Which they are quite used to
So you didn’t step down because of the racism - you stepped down because he blamed Antifa ...
Hmmm...
Comrade Trumpka was the UMW president. Ask his ex rank and file who they trust more, the Bolshevik or Trump?
Totally winning
Just build infrastructure in right to work states. No need for unions to be involved.
Trumpka is a Communist in all but name. This country is FAR better off without his input, or those of any of his minions or fellow travelers, being near to the White House.
