Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who held a town hall event with autoworkers in Michigan on Friday, said on Friday's show that union leaders “want to know who their members will support.” I can't control it.” Breitbart News Saturday.
“The other thing that came up at the town hall, which I also thought was interesting, was, of course, I saw Sean Fein, the UAW president, speaking at the Democratic National Convention. You're a Democrat, right?'' host Matthew Boyle said, reminding everyone that the crowd was booing Fein.
“What this shows us is that union leaders cannot control what their members think, say, and stand for,” he said, along with former President Donald Trump. Blackburn spoke just one day after speaking to autoworkers.
Blackburn said the harsh reality is that all these issues, including the economy and borders, are impacting autoworkers' jobs, and they know who is turning their backs on these issues. he said.
“And they are, like I said, the effects of what's happening with inflation, immigration, the fentanyl crisis, community crime, Kamala Harris' gun seizures, etc. And people look at that and say, 'Hey. Wait,” he says. This is a lefty from the far west,' and she is, and I think you remember in 2019 when I was ranked the most conservative member of the United States Senate. Kamala Harris was the complete opposite of me. She ranks as the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate,” Blackburn said, stressing that autoworkers “wanted to talk” at Friday's town hall.
“There was a mother who talked about being a single mother (she has five children) and how difficult it is to make ends meet. She was so cute and so nervous. She could barely speak. She said, you know, she wasn't a fan of President Trump, but she wants her son to “start seriously looking into what he's saying.” I noticed that. So she did, and has since become an avid Trump supporter. She voted for him in 2020 and will vote for him again this year,” Ms. Blackburn said.
“The issues they were talking about were the economy, immigration, open borders, inflation, issues that were impacting their jobs and productivity. And they were wondering how that would impact their manufacturing capacity. “And how does that impact our ability to actually continue to work and manufacture here in the United States?” she added.
