The first week in office, what is Joe Biden done? He signed an executive order ending the Keystone pipeline, destroying 11,000 jobs, 8,000 union jobs with a stroke of a pen. The Democratic elites have decided that blue-collar workers, that union members, that men and women with calluses on their hands, they’ve made the wrong choices in John Kerry’s words. If you’re actually a working person in this country, if you’re a union member, if you’re blue-collar, if you’ve got calluses on your hands, if you’re a cop, or a firefighter or a waiter, or waitress, or construction worker, this Democratic Party doesn’t care about you.
