Teamsters boss fires back at Tim Walz for ‘knucklehead statement’ about union leaders: ‘Our members are educated’
NY Post ^ | 23 Oct 2024 | Ryan King

Posted on 10/24/2024 1:32:49 AM PDT by blueplum

Teamsters president Sean O’Brien hit back Wednesday at Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz for suggesting that certain union leaders lacked “courage” by refusing to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

Walz, 60, had told “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart Monday that “some of those union leaders didn’t show the courage they needed to” by sitting out the 2024 election cycle without backing either Harris or former President Donald Trump.

“That’s kind of a knucklehead statement — I show courage every day,” O’Brien, 52, told Fox Business Network, using the Minnesota governor’s own excuse when confronted with his past misstatements. “It’s disrespectful to our members and the process.”...

Ahead of its non-endorsement announcement, the Teamsters released electronic survey data showing 59.6% of its rank-and-file members supported Trump for president....

Earlier this month, O’Brien asserted on the “This Past Weekend” podcast with comedian Theo Von that Democrats “have [xxxx] us over for the last 40 years.”

“And for once … we’re standing up as a union, probably the only one right now, saying, ‘What the [xxxx] have you done for us?'”

Tim Walz is easily the least impressive VP pick in my lifetime working with the previous worst VP pick in history now running for President.

Walz is a true moron, which seems to be pre requisite to be Governor of Minnesota. What is wrong with those people up there

I got two retired Teamsters in my family. Both would kick his ass. What a puss. Wanna know who they drove for? Listen to Dave Dudley’s “ There Ain’t N Easy Run”. Dad by his self covers 12 or 15. Like I said “what a puss”. I’m 72 and I got a $100 says I can out drive him, out shoot him, and kick his ass. Democrats suck.

The DOJ has had a stranglehold on the Teamsters since Rudy’s Consent Decree in the 1980s. No mobster has taken as much treasure from working people than has the failed judges and prosecutors who feed at the Consent Decree traugh

Democrats believe that the leaders and figureheads in this world should tell people how to vote.

Democrats do not believe in an educated voter base, but one led by loyal party members.

They hang around with and promote LGBTQ+ incessantly

It’s not surprising they pick up their mannerisms

and probably their demons as well...

I'm sure it won't be long before Timmy Walz threatens to give someone a knuckle sandwich. I can't imagine having this goof for a football coach. He reminds me of the jock sniffer who sneaks around the locker room when it's empty. I hope we hear more from some of his former students and players, especially the ones who have first hand knowledge of his Chinese tattoo on his upper thigh. What a dynamic duo the dummy and the diddler.

And yet Timmy Tinkler Toucher with his flopsy wrists and chorus girl strut strut kick, strut strut kick, has the nerve to call Elon a dip*t.

Remember a few times when the country has looked back and gone Whew, we dodged a bullet with that person.

Tim Walz is that guy, sometime in the future, it will come out that he’s gay and a child molester and we’ll all say, whew, we dodged a bullet with that guy.

The current VP seems to be equally unimpressive.

Unions need to go away. The only thing they do is make their leaderships richer and screw their members and the American people. They’re usefulness is long gone.
