Teamsters president says AOC should ‘focus on her job’ in response to no endorsement

Published



Teamsters President Sean O’Brien rebuked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over her criticism for the Teamsters not endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, arguing she has her own problems to deal with.

Ocasio-Cortez claimed that the Teamsters and O’Brien would call on the Democratic Party for help when they needed help “at the negotiating table.” O’Brien, however, argued otherwise, stating President Joe Biden, “along with the former secretary of labor,” had been the ones calling the Teamsters to settle negotiations to prevent potential rail strikes.
