Teamster President Sells His Members Out To Republicans
In a stunning move of betrayal, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien spoke Monday night at the RNC convention in Milwaukee. It is safe to say he did not come to bury Felonious Caesar but to praise him:
"President Trump is a candidate who is not afraid of hearing from new, loud and often critical voices, and I think we all can agree, whether people like him or they don't like him, in light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough S.O.B.," O'Brien said.
That "S.O.B." line sparked resounding applause and cheers from the convention hall.
O'Brien then made a remarkably stupid comment about how the Teamsters didn't care about the party, but which candidate would be best. He followed it up by bragging about how they endorsed Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush - a crook, a union buster, and a corporate stooge. That's not exactly a record to be proud of.
O'Brien wasn't done beclowning himself by giving credit to Republican lawmakers for helping to settle the railroad worker's strike in 2022. However, the Teamsters actually credited President Joe Biden - who is decidedly not a Republican - for working with O'Brien himself in getting the job done.
