It’s time to set the record straight. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the loud-mouthed representative from New York, had the audacity to criticize Teamsters President Sean O’Brien after the union refused to endorse Kamala Harris for president. AOC claims that the Teamsters always come crawling to Democrats when they need help, but the truth couldn’t be further from that. This isn’t about the Teamsters looking for a handout from the Democrats—it’s about Democrats needing the Teamsters to push their election agenda. AOC’s backward thinking is an embarrassment to her district and the American people.
Let’s be clear: AOC is a politician who only cares about power and pushing her radical left-wing agenda. When the Teamsters refused to endorse Kamala Harris, she lost it. Why? Because she and the Democrats expect every labor union to fall in line, no questions asked. But this time, the Teamsters stood their ground, and she couldn’t handle it.
Teamsters Don’t Dance to the Democrat Tune
The reality is that unions like the Teamsters don’t owe Democrats anything. They’re supposed to represent their members, not politicians. O’Brien made it clear in his response that the union’s rank-and-file members—yes, the real working-class people that AOC claims to represent—actually support Trump over Harris by a significant margin. According to polling, 58% of Teamsters members prefer Trump, while only 31% support Harris. That’s a big problem for the Democrats, and AOC can’t seem to wrap her head around it.
Instead of attacking O’Brien and the Teamsters, AOC should be asking herself why union members—especially in her own New York district—are jumping ship and backing Trump. But no, she’d rather pick fights with labor leaders and stick her nose in where it doesn’t belong.
O’Brien hit back, telling AOC to “focus on her job instead of mine.” And you know what? He’s absolutely right. AOC’s district voted overwhelmingly for Trump. How embarrassing is that? Her own constituents are rejecting her socialist, anti-jobs agenda, but she’s too busy pushing the Green New Deal nonsense that’s killing jobs to notice.
AOC and the Democrats: Out of Touch with the Working Class
Democrats like AOC claim to be the party of the working class, but when was the last time they did anything that actually helped working Americans? They support policies like the Green New Deal, which would destroy entire industries and send countless union workers packing. They’re more concerned with appeasing the far-left elite than with protecting the jobs of blue-collar Americans.
AOC’s tantrum over the Teamsters not endorsing Harris shows just how out of touch she is. O’Brien made it clear that the Teamsters are not interested in backing any candidate who doesn’t prioritize working people over big business. And let’s face it, Kamala Harris has no credibility with union workers. Her policies, like the Democrats’ pension plans, might seem appealing on the surface, but they’re nothing more than empty promises designed to win votes.
O’Brien also pointed out the hypocrisy in AOC’s attack. She tried to make it seem like the Teamsters were begging Democrats for help, but in reality, O’Brien had to tell the administration to stay out of union affairs. He didn’t want their interference, and yet AOC acts like the Democrats are the saviors of unions. It’s laughable.
Democrats’ Fake “Pro-Union” Stance Is Exposed
And don’t get me started on the other Democrats who chimed in to defend AOC’s meltdown. Representative Jim McGovern of Massachusetts tried to claim that Trump is the “most anti-labor president we’ve ever had.” Really? Let’s be real for a second—Trump created policies that boosted jobs, lowered taxes, and cut regulations, making it easier for businesses to thrive and hire more workers.
Meanwhile, what have Democrats done? They’ve shoved through radical environmental regulations and job-killing policies that hurt the very union members they claim to support. McGovern and AOC can talk all day about how they’ve supported unions, but their actions show the opposite. Union workers are leaving them in droves because they see through the lies.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi even joined in, whining that the Teamsters’ decision not to endorse Harris was “disappointing.” She had the nerve to say that Trump didn’t support the pension bill for the Teamsters, even though the majority of union members support him over Biden and Harris. Pelosi, like AOC, is completely out of touch with the working-class Americans who are tired of being used as political pawns.
AOC’s Green New Deal: A Disaster for Union Workers
AOC’s pet project, the Green New Deal, is nothing short of an economic disaster. This far-left fantasy would obliterate industries like manufacturing, construction, and energy—the very industries that employ union workers. Yet AOC continues to push this garbage like it’s the solution to all of America’s problems.
Unions like the Teamsters have real concerns about the Green New Deal, and for good reason. It threatens to eliminate thousands of jobs and cripple industries that have been the backbone of the American workforce for decades. But does AOC care about that? Nope. She’s more interested in pandering to the radical climate activists and pushing her socialist agenda.
Why AOC Needs to Get Out of the Way
AOC’s obsession with forcing unions to fall in line with the Democrat party line shows just how little she understands about representing her constituents. Her own district voted for Trump, and union members are turning to the GOP because they’ve had enough of the Democrats’ empty promises. But instead of reflecting on that, AOC throws a hissy fit when the Teamsters refuse to endorse her chosen candidate.
Sean O’Brien said it best: AOC should focus on her own job. Maybe if she spent less time picking fights with union leaders and more time listening to the concerns of her district, she’d realize why so many people are rejecting her socialist agenda. The fact that she doesn’t get it just proves how worthless she is as a politician.
At the end of the day, unions like the Teamsters exist to represent the interests of their members, not to be political tools for the Democrats. AOC needs to get out of the way and let union members decide what’s best for themselves.
Final Thoughts
AOC’s hissy fit over the Teamsters not endorsing Kamala Harris shows just how desperate and out of touch she is. Instead of attacking union leaders, she should be looking at why her own district is rejecting her and why union members prefer Trump over the Democrats. The more she pushes her radical agenda, the more she drives people away. It’s time for AOC to focus on her own job and stop trying to play political games with the livelihoods of working-class Americans.

Cant wait till Nov 5th and President Trump sets foot back in the White House where he belongs. Make America Great Again!
A faulure at present job maybe she can get the job done when she returns to bar tending!!!!!
Exactly my thoughts. Come on AOC’s district voters if you really like her vote her out of office so she can come back to the district full time. If you go to her bar tip her what she is worth, about 2 cents.
AOC is an incompetent, ignorant puertorican with a big mouth, always ready to argue. This is typical of the people living in islands envious of what the neighbors have. Why give her importance ? She should go back to bartending!!
Good for the Teamsters! The demonrats are out to jack the working class with killing off energy and FORCING us to drive electric cars that have no range! The only good demonrat/democrat is one that has been VOTED out of office!!! PERIOD!!
Bet you thought I would say “dead” but I’m a peaceful Republican that believes in the power of the vote. The U.S. is one of the few places in the world where there can be a peaceful transfer of power every 4 years by VOTING! So proud to be an American for that fact!
Oh and were are we going to get all that “electricity”? Well, will probably be forced to “GO NUCLEAR” to meet the demand. That would tick off all the liberal idiots out there. I actually have friends that work in nuclear power generation plants and they proudly rant and rave all the time of the strict safety enforced that’s in the containment building.
A foreman had to get a Technetium (a radionuclide) heart scan in the morning and came back to work that day in containment. The radiation alarms were going off right and left and they rushed him to the containment emergency shower station. They were about to scrub him down for a third time when he said, “I just had a Technetium heart scan!” Everyone rolled their eyes and told him to go home and come back tomorrow. The Technetium has a short half-life and when he came back the next day, all was fine.
Their handheld meters showed the guy was mildly radio-active and the personnel were getting spastic as to where the “breach” came from! They were relieved when the foreman told them he just came back from a scan! All was fine the next day.
AOC is nothing but an insane far Left Marxist. As such, she does not deserve print time.
Me thinks the Teamster bosses might finally be looking outfor their jobs. In the internal poll the people paying their salary (union dues) like Trump far better than K Hairass. Just maybe the union bosses figured out that if they, i.e. “the union” supported her they might be out of power.
