Political Quotes

“Martin Davis, one of the three people who pled guilty, barred from work with the Teamsters and fined $204,000; Jere Nash, barred from work with the Teamsters, fined $10,000; Michael Ensara barred from working with the Teamsters and fined $126,000. Now it gets to be kind of interesting. We talked about the Democratic National Committee. Citizen Action, their national office, implicated in the swap scheme. Who is Citizen Action? Citizen Action is a lobbying political advocacy group here in Washington. And what do they advocate? Clean and fair elections. Clearly implicated through this whole process. Barred from working on Teamsters elections. But they are part of this swap scheme. You can sit there and say, they are in Washington and they are campaigning. It is kind of interesting what happened. Like many of these organizations, they have a national headquarters and they have State chapters. They are all trying to advocate for the same thing, which is clean and fair elections, at least with Citizen Action. That was one of their key messages. Washington sold them out. Washington was clearly implicated. Washington Citizen Action was clearly implicated in this. So what you see again is the Washington organization is corrupt, illegal activities, and they basically sold all of their locals, the grassroots kind of people, they sold them down the river. It is the same thing that happened with the Teamsters, the rank and file members. They are our neighbors.”
