Teamster’s President Says Harris Told Him She’d ‘Win With Us Or Without Us’

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien has revealed how arrogant former Democrat presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, was when asking for their endorsement.

When he spoke to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson he said that bother President-elect Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy answered each of the 16 questions given to them, whereas President Joe Biden answered only 5 when he was the Democrat candidate and the vice president answered only three and told the union that she would win “with or without” them.

“We gave the same 16 questions a week in advance to each candidate. RFK answered all 16 of our questions. Most of them not how we’d like him to answer, but he answered them. Joe Biden came in and answered five of them. Donald Trump answered all 16,” O’Brien explained.

“Prior to Biden dropping out of the race, around June or May, one of my vice presidents… was at an event with Vice President Harris. They’re going through the line to get a picture and she introduces herself to Vice President Harris. She says she’s on the general executive board for the Teamsters. She goes, ‘Teamsters? You better get on board. You better get on board soon,’” he said.

“That’s to my vice president, to her face. So she comes back, we have a meeting the next and she tells me this. So I call up Marty Walsh, who was the secretary of labor but he was pushing hard for us to make the endorsement. I said, “Let me ask you a question, Marty. Who does this lady think she is? If I want support from any organization I am not going to point my finger in someone’s face and say you’d better get on board or else.” That’s the attitude of this whole party,” the union chief added.

“So fast forward, she finally agrees to come after we put pressure on her. I was doing interviews all over the place saying we weren’t invited to the DNC. They haven’t accepted our invitation to some to the roundtable. Same questions, rank and file members asking questions, just like with every other candidate. And they were trying to negotiate with us, she only wants to answer three questions. Like, there are 16 questions. So she answers three of them, and on the fourth question, one of her operatives or staff slips a note in front of me, ‘This will be the last question,’” O’Brien went on.

“It was 20 minutes early from the time it was going to end. 100%. And so, you’re there trying to get our support. And her declaration on the way out was, I’m going to win with you or without you.’ She said that out loud. It was insane behavior. At that point in time, I knew she was going to lose,” he said.
