Did he mention he has to advocate for $15 burger flippers because he sold the good jobs out? Did he mention he supports unions unless someone pays him not to? How does one disregard the wishes of 90+ percent of labor union members while employed as the labor union members top government official, yet support labor unions? No, he's a traitor and a 1% sellout tool.
