Political Quotes

“We have been hearing a lot in the last few days and weeks about what is happening in Indiana with the Carrier plant. Last night, the President-elect of the United States took a swipe at the local union official of United Steelworkers in Indiana, a man who in the last several months has probably had the worst months of his life to where he has to tell members of his union that they are going to lose their job right before the holidays--families. Many of us in this body have known union leaders who have had to deal with this exact situation. For the President-elect to take his position--the bully pulpit that the people of our country have given him--to try to smack down a steelworker in Indiana who is dealing with such a tough situation is shameful. And on the heels of that, appoint someone to the Secretary of Labor's position who is antilabor and wants to get rid of food workers, when he makes millions of dollars a year and the food worker makes $18,000 in a good year. This is not what my people signed up for, the people who may have even voted for Donald Trump. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will remind Members to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President-elect. ____________________”
