Trump Fans Wearing 'Auto Workers for Trump' Shirts at Detroit Rally Admit They're Not Actually Auto Workers

At least six of the people wearing “Auto Workers for Trump” shirts at a rally in Detroit featuring GOP vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) admitted they were not, in fact, auto workers.

Craig Mauger, state politics reporter for The Detroit News, attended the rally to cover the remarks by former President Donald Trump’s running mate and noted that there were “more than a dozen people wearing ‘auto workers for Trump’ shirts.” But when he spoke with them, they “acknowledged they were not auto workers.”

Initially, Mauger identified four who were wearing the shirts despite not actually being auto workers, and he later found two more.

There were more than a dozen people in the crowd at Vance’s Detroit event wearing “auto workers for Trump” T-shirts. However, six of the individuals, including Carl Leonard of Chesterfield Township and Terry Flannery of Richmond, told The Detroit News they were not auto workers but supporters of Trump.

Leonard and Flannery said they had been given the shirts by Pannebecker, a retired Ford Motor Co. assembly line worker.
