AOC Embarrasses Teamsters Chief After He Refuses to Endorse Harris
New Republic ^ | 9/18/24 | Hafiz Rashid

Posted on 09/21/2024 7:24:16 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien isn’t happy that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the union for refusing to endorse Kamala Harris for president. On Thursday, in response to her comments, he made the spurious claim that the Teamsters in AOC’s district overwhelmingly support Donald Trump.

Speaking to CNN’s Dana Bash, O’Brien said, “[Ocasio-Cortez] should maybe get into her district, where it voted far-right Republican, and maybe find out what the problem is.”

Well sorry AOC, 2/3rds of Teamsters members endorse Donald Trump, the truth hurts.

I severely doubt a Teamster President can be embarrassed by some dumb ex bartender.

Oh boy. You go right ahead, lib hacks, and start slapping those “lies,” “without evidence,” etc labels on people in your coalition. Let’s see how they like what you dish out on us all the time. I suspect it’s not going to strengthen your bonds

AOC says she has the endorsement of local Teamster’s union organizations, a far cry from having the support of the rank and file.

#4: "I severely doubt a Teamster President can be embarrassed by some dumb ex bartender."

Sandy is a former bartender who stole money other employees by stealing cash from the tip jar.

So, 2/3 of the actual Teamsters support Trump but their president decides not to endorse anyone. Wow.

Imagine in a war battle, the captain telling his troops that he can’t endorse destroying the enemy because, he is conflicted in his mind about his former allies on the other side.

That’s Sean O’Brien. Traitor to his union members.

The fact is that, O’Brien should never have to represent the Teamster’s union again, and let the union majority speak for themselves, publicly and loudly. Set up a protest in front of the union offices, and proclaim loudly, ‘we are proudly pro-Trump!’.

The union voted to endorse Trump...so why would he endorse Harris? And how did AOC “embarrass” him for refusing to endorse? He elected to make a non-endorsement - if he had went with the will of the Teamsters, Trump would have been endorsed.

So what is she even talking about? She should be embarrassed as her remarks make zero sense...the official non-endorsement was the best he could do for her side given who the rank and file voted for.

Take a victory where you get it. It’sa big success to pry them away from the democrats and have their president speak at our convention.

AOC endorsed Sanders for Prez in 2020.

I’m am 100% willing to bet that most union hands across America 2-1 support Trump.

working people (outside of those on the federal payroll, of course) are aware of just how dangerous another 4 year leftist/”progressive”/communist/socialist regime would be to working people, jobs, and the standard of living,

Better people than AOC have disappeared after pissing off the Teamsters, and the Mafia. Just saying.
