"When President Trump invited me to speak at this convention, there was political unrest. On the left and on the right. (It's) hard to believe. Anti-union groups demanded that Trump rescind the invitation. The left called me a traitor. This is precisely why it's so important for me to be here today. Think about this: The Teamsters are doing something correct if the extremes of both parties think I shouldn't be on this stage."
Sean O'Brien, Teamsters President @ RNC
Literally doing the meme of "I know I'm right if everyone hates me".
If a billionaire businessman who’s famous for cheating workers asks your union to give a speech at his event, he is making fun of you.
and yet even some people here were defending Sean Fain not too long ago... you just can't win.. people want to believe in these small hopes that not everything is crooked and fucked... but it is
uaw is different than teamsters. the UAW strike strategy was bad ass. that guy is cool.
Right, like I'm sure he's lib in many ways but I've yet to really see anything too bad out of him yet
Sean Fain came out against the genocide in Gaza and now the government is putting all kinds of pressure on him and the union though. So he's at least taken a stand that others have not.
What happened with Sean Fain?
Assume y'all mean Shawn Fain - no pedantry intended, I just 100% read the comment as Sinn Féin and wondered what shit they did lmao
You’re correct, I didn’t remember how it was spelled and was just using the same spelling as the commenter I replied to haha
Literally endorsed biden, which should've gathered much more outrage than just speaking at a convention
Exactly. Why would he even think about speaking to the DNC?
