Republicans mock size of Biden’s Labor Day crowd in Pennsylvania
NY Post ^ | September 6, 2022 | By Mark Moore

Responding to President Biden’s Labor Day speech ripping former President Donald Trump and his supporters, the GOP mocked the low turnout at his rally for union steelworkers near Pittsburgh.

“MASSIVE crowd for Joe Biden in Pennsylvania today!,” the Republican National Committee Research account tweeted Monday, adding two laughing emojis.

The posting included a photo showing Biden on the stage outside a union hall in West Mifflin, southeast of the Steel City, ​speaking before a crowd of a few dozen people.​

One picture, posted online by Molly Nagle of ABC News, showed Biden​, 79,​ speaking in shirtsleeves in front of the United Steelworkers of America Local Union 2227 hall.

Other Twitter users noted the low turnout, with one asking NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell: “Biden in Pittsburgh. Same speech he gave in Wisconsin, much less energy. Why? Where is the crowd in Pittsburgh? Where’s the turnout?”

Another user attempted to provide an answer, suggesting: “Biden Labor Day speech in Pennsylvania was open to union members only. Turnout about 100, maybe 150? Spending Labor Day at a Democrats rally – probably sounded as appealing as going to a crochet class.”

Biden’s venue was as empty as his head and suit.

At least you’d learn a skill at a crochet class.

“And y’all are gonna pay off those student loans!”, “no joke!” a tone deaf Biden stammered fists clenched before his staff kicked the PA systems power cord out of the socket.

I saw Biden’s motorcade in Chicago once when he was VP. That was enough of him for me.

Just make sure you spell crochet right, ‘cuz if you accidentally said “crotch” the room WOULD be full of Democrats.

If Biden ever attempted to speak before a large unscreened crowd, he would not like what he would hear.

Word is Democrats are ready to campaign with Biden........
that leaked out of loser DEM Terry McAuliffe’s camp...../s.

And the country would see that unfold this week........oh happy day.

REALITY CHECK Biden needs to be medically jacked up on some sort of amphetamine to pull off even a single campaign appearance. His Soul of the Nation flopola showed in No way is he prepared to hit the campaign trail in any meaningful manner. (Courtesy Flick Lives)

Figure I saw recently was union membership was 40% of the work force in 1960 and now is roughly 12%.

So good ol’ lunch bucket Joe can try to rally the 12% and feel like Woody Guthrie , sort of.

Also, for decades the rank and file would go to Reagan or Trump while the union leaders not currently in prison would go or the Dems.

I think most union members now are govt employees. So likely to vote Democrat.

More importantly Fetterman was there as well. Not many came out for him either.
