Unions See Through Donald Trumps Sham After He Attacks Chuck JonesGideon Resnick
The Daily Beast
Donald Trump, the supposed voice for the forgotten man who descended from his gold-encrusted New York City shrine to speak to the American voter who had been left behind, bullied a union boss by name on Wednesday night.
What do I have to say about a person with their finger on the nuclear button going after someone who has a flip phone, RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, laughingly said in a phone interview. Its just too crazy. Its sort of surreal really. (Jones has said that he has a flip phone and didnt even see the tweet when it happened.)
DeMoro, who is also vice president of the AFL-CIO, was and remains very critical of both parties and endorsed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary. In her eyes, Trump is the result of a co-opted populist message for which the Democrats did not have a real answer.
He essentially ripped off Bernies campaign after the Democrats did Bernie in, DeMoro said. He saw that populist message and he ran on that. The problem is that Bernie actually knew what he was talking about.
