“Madam President, this week, General Motors is set to lay off thousands of workers in Lordstown, OH, and around the country. Tomorrow is the day that most of the first shift lose their jobs. Several months ago, the second shift lost their jobs. A couple years ago, the third shift lost their jobs. That totals about 4,500 human beings with families. What is the President's response? He boasts nonsense and rubs salt in these workers' wounds. Last week, as if he didn't know about Lordstown and other places, he said: We have car companies opening up in Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania and so many other places. I don't know where those mystery factories are in Ohio that the President brags about. They aren't in Lordstown, where people are about to lose those jobs. President Trump's remarks, his uncaring feelings, and his ignorance of even knowing what has happened in Ohio--the State he seems to boast about and credit for his victory--are a slap in the face to the workers, and there is the fact that he has done nothing to help. Think about the workers who are out of a job at the end of the week. Think about their families. Think about the other families in Lordstown who are about to lose customers. Senator Portman and I spent a lot of time working with General Motors, visiting a restaurant near the plant and talking to the workers there who know their jobs are affected as fewer Lordstown workers come to that restaurant.…”
