Josh Hawley| Better Bad Ideas with Sean O'Brien

[The Direct Line]

Another incredible episode of "Better Bad Ideas w/ Sean O'Brien" however not in a good way. First thing, he truly loves the GOP. He still says he is Dem but more like a Republican-lite. He humanized Josh Hawley without recognizing the damage he has done. Did SOB forget that Senator Hawley on Jan. 6, 2020 put his first in the air to encourage the January 6 rioters, maybe SOB thought they were patriots.

Some lowlights.

"... the Democratic party that it once was has became the Republican party of falling in love with corporate America trying to be an elitist..." So why take a photo with Vivek Ramaswamy or did he just not know how Vivek made his money. Hey, at least SOB ushered in "A Golden Age ahead for all Americans. Thank You."

It only gets worse.

"I think the biggest problem is people are trying to protect illegal aliens that come over here and commit crimes and that's unacceptable."

And he later adds

"Social issues are well and good, but protecting illegal immigrants that come into our country to commit crimes and steal jobs, that's a tough pill to swallow."
He is repeating right-wing talking points. The border is just one part of the immigration issue, but for the right-wing that is the only issue when it comes to immigration. There are Teamsters that are working on becoming US citizens because they came to the US at a young age and grew up here. They did not steal jobs. Those comments are a slap in the faces of all those hard working undocumented workers who took jobs that no US citizens want to do.

I would love to know what he considers social issues? Seems like immigration is.

[NYNick]

It almost seems like he is simply mimicing GOP rhetoric, he has become a career politician swaying in the wind with whatever will keep him in the media spotlight.

I don't get the O'Brien /Hawley love fest. In Hawley's home state he's generally disliked by labor including the teamsters, until O'Brien anyway.

Two turds in a punchbowl.

Can I use that quote?

[TheMilitantTeamster]

Right wing shit — we’ve got a MAGA president

Amazon hiring practice is to hire immigrants because they are easier to exploit is how Amazon sees it. How are we suppose to organize Amazon workers when the GP reiterates right-wing talking points when it comes to immigrant workers.

In a recent FOX interview, Teamster President to attend Trump Inauguration (See video upper right) O’Brien states, “I live there (Washington DC) so I’ll walk up the street and see what is going on”

This statement incorrectly leads me to believe, if SOB has nothing better to do, he will mosey on up the road and see what is happing from the OUTSIDE. How did he get INSIDE? You don’t get inside this crowed unless you are a billionaire, or give Trump exactly what he wants, when he wants it, until he is done with you.

O’Brien demonstrates his support for the anti-Teamster/union/worker President Trump by remaining silent on the pardons of the Jan 6 Cop Beaters. How does O’Brien’s IBT justify its page on the official website “Welcome to the Teamsters Law Enforcement League web page—a special site dedicated to law enforcement officers across North America who are represented by the Teamsters. Where is O’Brien’s outrage in defense of our brothers’ and Sisters' in blue?

Where is O’Brien’s outrage of Trump’s rescinding the $35 cap on Insulin?

I’ll bet since O’Brien posted a photo of someone holding a gun to a woman’s head, he is OK with Hegseth, Trump’s FOX news host Secretary of Defense.

Never thought I would say this, but with O’Brien in charge, I kind a miss Hoffa. Yes, Hoffa negotiated weak contracts among other sins. However, O’Brien’s not only negotiates weak contracts; he is proud to be an embarrassment to us and the working class! In my opinion, the Fox News host was right when he introduced O’Brien as a “UNION BOSS”

[JWebb]

This is exactly the stuff Trump voters don't want to talk about, oh and its been less than a week.

[JZuraw]

Obama and Biden both were active in deporting undocumented people who violated the law. Now Trump has moved to throw out 1 million+ people who are here legally (by revoking asylum catergories). Trump is leading with cruelty, and O'Brien is cheering him on. Watch how this erodes respect for our Union.

[JWebb]

I'm hearing Amazon workers are already put off by the support for Trump.

[The Direct Line]

He speaks like there is no accountability for his words, sounds familiar.

I am sure there are some rumblings among Amazon workers about his right-wing talking points.

I hope really an immigrant, undocumented preferably, steals his job as Teamsters General President.

I hope more of labor sees him for the fraud he is.

[Gimliboston9]

An immigrant like his wife? Or like Musk?

[JZuraw]

This O'Brien quote is reprehensible: "Social issues are well and good, but protecting illegal immigrants that come into our country to commit crimes and steal jobs, that's a tough pill to swallow."

He's a hate-monger.

His people immigrated. My people immigrated. What percentage of Teamster members (by virtue of being indigenous) doesn't have immigrant forebearers? This is (overwhelmingly) a nation of immigrants.

People who come here to work aren't stealing jobs. They're contributing.

Has any Teamster officer, IBT or Local, called out O'Brien for this garbage?

[Thisischange?]

He's the mini me of Trumpworld.
