Teamsters Chief, O’Brien, like Trump is piece of shit MAGA.
> AOC Embarrasses Teamsters Chief
Sounds like he did all the work.
Sounds like there may be a shakeup coming to the Teamsters. It’s quite a thing to have ones members publicly denounce their efforts.
Funny how local chapters are coming out to endorse Kamala. O’Brien is a POS that wants desperately to be a MAGA influencer.
Embarrassment is an unknown concept to them. Just like shame.
So…do the Teamsters have a process for a Vote of No Confidence?
Big believer in Republican methods for fact gathering.🧚♀️ (fairy dust)
Looks like this guy is a liar and should be replaced with people who actually CARE about their union, not riding the fence between Union support and Fascist Corporate Greed
Looks like somebody was promised a pardon
Howard Zinn once said “you can’t be neutral on a moving train”.
I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt and liked a lot of his left leaning positions, but be for real dude. Trump and especially his party will knife you faster than the democrats when the time comes.
Alternative Headline: AOC Embarrasses Soon to Be Ex-Teamsters Chief.
Is that the union guy that spoke at the RNC?
Get rid of this stupid teamster leader he’s an idiot. Trump is completely anti union. Any teamster member that support Trump needs a brain surgeon.
He’s a rat.
Hey, O’Brien, which side are you on?
AOC is a force to be reckoned with, maybe a future rep presidental candidate
They DO realize how anti-union the GoP is, right? …..right?
This clown is still butt hurt that the DNC wouldn’t let him speak at the convention. What a loser
Is his claim that the same people who voted for AOC also overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump? That’s wild.
Sean O’Brien is a class traitor.
He’s being incredibly negligent and putting his own ideological bullshit over the best interests of his constituents. He needs to be booted by the Teamsters!
He went mask-off by the way he tried to attack her. He’s bought and paid for, clearly.
Kamala told him that she doesn’t need his endorsement. If she wins she’ll support the Teamsters regardless.
/winning
O’Brien says the Teamsters won’t endorse a candidate but still releases a poll purportedly showing something like 68/32% favoring Trump.
The only “union” he should head is a police “union.”
*Lying liars lie.*
I love how AOC is constantly knocking down sad, pathetic, little old men
A union boss who supports Trump…the man who said he would destroy unions. Such a cult.
It sounds like the union leader should be investigated for corruption since he’s going against what the majority of the union members want.
Harris should make a statement along the lines of “I understand that some people in the Teamsters Union dont support me for President and therefore i did not gain their Endorsement, but i dont care, i am running to be President of the *United States, and that means everyone, even without the Teamsters Endorsement i will still fight for their right, and the rights of every American to form and be in a Union and believe in the power and necessity for Organized Labor whether you vote for me or not. Unlike Donald Trump, a person who is the Republican Nominee and head of a party that is famously and notoriously Anti-Union”
Or something
Use it as a way to hammer Trump for what he is and take the opportunity to be magnanimous, reasonable and uniting
My crackpot theory is that Trump has all the names and enough evidence of who spent time on Epstein Island to keep the heat off of him. It’s especially suspicious when the Teamsters Chief is refusing to endorse the pro union candidate in favor of not crossing the pro corporate, anti union one. I think if Trump goes down for Epstein, he’s going to take a lot of powerful men down with him.
O’Brien is practically begging to lose his job lol
Imagine the president of a giant labor union selling out to the most anti-union president in a century
Organized labor voting republican makes as much sense as kindergartens hiring from local nambla chapters.
As a teamster in California, NOT A DRIVER, F this guy. Be a fucking man. Just because a lot of drivers are stupid enough to support trump doesn’t mean the rest of us are.
Sean O Brian is a Fk disgrace
This guy went to Mar-A-Lago back in January. Something’s going on behind the scenes
Unions voting for union busters like Trump
That will teach her
My guess here now is that O’Brien is simply corrupt and has been bought under the table by capital interests.
I read how the unions and labor groups that supported the NAZIs in early 30’s Germany .
Even though nazi philosophy and literature deemed unions as the #1 enemy of the state. The nazi party would publicly speak loudly about how Germany’s labor unions were the “life blood of the nation.”
Immediately after securing enough votes to hold power they first began killing off the communists. While this was going on they continued to publicly champion labor and unions. Even holding massive MayDay/labor parades and handing out medals to the leaders.
This was on May 1st
May 2nd, the very next day, they invaded union offices all around the country, killed the leaders they were just celebrating, burned and destroyed the offices, destroyed their presses of publication and arrested many more thousands of members whom most would eventually be killed as well.
Charming the unions was a step towards power. “Joe worker” thought they were with the “in crowd”, even though the NAzi base rhetoric was plainly never supportive. After they secured the legislature, Hitler pivoted to the industrialists to gain economic power. The industrialists wanted the unions gone, wage controls removed and regulations to disappear.
They delivered, but only out of necessity.
Following this, confiscation of property and businesses began, competitors were neutralized. A certain class was happy. This, combined with a new and growing slave labor force and normal wages reduced to pennies on the dollar, an economic boom seemed to have appeared
However, the moment the nazis had gained economic control, they then turned on the industrialists as well. Forcing them to sell to the state at cut rates. Forcing them to purchase from the state at high cost., and forcing them to pay the nazi party never ending and increasing royalties to keep their businesses from being consumed by the state.
Short story long. Always believe people when they tell you who they are.
When I learned of teamsters not endorsing anyone I gave benefit of the doubt that this guy was a simp for Trump. I just figured he tried to take his message before both conventions and then use the weight of the teamsters name to get promises from either party. And then I gave benefit of the doubt that the current polling issues were messed up because they had a previous union poll before the candidate change so to not create chaos they chose a non-endorsement.
Well this interview changes my mind. This guy is probably a MAGA brained fool and giving the Teamsters a bad reputation
Fuck the “head” of the teamsters. Dude is an outright piece of shit for mebe supporting a dictator. Fuck his feelings, his intelligence, fucking guy is a white supremacist and doesn’t even realize it!
