Sean O'Brien, president of Teamsters, the largest workers' union in the United States was invited to speak at the RNC, proceeds to troll entire convention with pro-union, anti-corporatist speech.So in a very divisive move, O'Brien has spoken at the Republican National Convention, marking the first time since it's founding over 100 years ago. Democrats and Union Members were aghast at this perceived act of betrayal, as the union has previously endorsed the past 4 democratic candidates for presidency.
What came was an unexpected speech where O'Brien did not once specifically say that he was going to, as president of the union, endorse Annoying Orange, but he did use the time that Republicans gave him on their stage to go into a long discussion about the plight of the American working class as the victims of the actions of corporate welfare and anti-union practices by companies such as Amazon, Walmart, and others.
To very confused and halting applause, O'Brien went on to say that he expects that the government will do its part to ensure American's rights are protected when entering the workforce, and that an end to practices that place the burden of supporting worker's healthcare and economic security on the American taxpayers.
A befuddled Annoying Orange grimaced and weakly smiled his way through the whole ordeal, and new VP nominee, Vance, did not look slightly amused at the duplicity.
So what is your opinion?
Big Brain O'Brien successfully trolled the Republicans?
Or has the president of America's largest union hurt his own cause by legitimizing the GOP campaign with his presence at their convention?
Sadly I cannot change the poll for this thread since badspot updated the forums last.
