Teamsters social media attacks leader over Republican convention speech
Deleted post said, ‘unions gain nothing from endorsing the racist, misogynistic, and anti-trans politics of the far right’
The Teamsters’ social media account attacked its own president on Wednesday, saying “unions gain nothing from endorsing the racist, misogynistic, and anti-trans politics of the far right,” two days after Sean O’Brien addressed the Republican national convention in Milwaukee.
O’Brien spoke at the convention on Monday night in Milwaukee, becoming the first leader of the union to appear at the convention in the union’s history.
