Teamsters President Gets Blowback For RNC Appearance

On Monday night, Teamsters president Sean O'Brien spoke at the RNC convention in Milwaukee. During his address, he promptly dropped to his knees to kiss Trump's oversized, orange ass.

In rather short order, O'Brien was notified by many people that this was not cool with them. The Biden/Harris campaign quickly responded with a tweet showing a video of O'Brien, shortly after his speech, admitting that President Biden had done a lot for the Teamsters and for the other unions and for all American workers. O'Brien then said that Biden was indeed one of the most pro-labor presidents in recent history.

What should be even more disturbing to O'Brien is that there was some open rebellion from his own members:

O’Brien’s turn at the RNC was not appreciated by everyone at the Teamsters. The union’s official Twitter account bashed him on Tuesday after he shared a piece about his speech by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). The piece, titled “The Promise of Pro-Labor Conservatism,” begins by suggesting that American workers are getting screwed because companies are using profits to “push diversity, equity, and inclusion and the religion of the trans flag.”
