Who screws up more when they open their mouth… Walz or Harris?

Tim Walz Called Out by Teamsters Boss After Sleight on Union Members

Governor Tim Walz made a big mistake after being snubbed by the unions for an endorsement in the presidential race.

Rather than offering an olive branch, Walz insulted membership and more or less called leadership cowards.

"Some of those leaders did not show the courage they needed to. The vast majority of union leaders showed the courage in backing us,” said Walz.

Well, leadership just fired back, and it is not good for Walz.

"It's a kuncklehead statement," said Sean O'Brien, Teamsters boss.

After Trump left the site the one construction worker was asked by a Newsmax reporter: 'What's it like seeing so many Republicans in Manhattan, so many Trump supporters in Manhattan. Does that surprise you?'
The man, dressed ready for work, didn't hesitate.
'No, not at all. It's turning now. It's Trump's turn again.'
He was then asked for his message to Joe Biden.
Without missing a beat, he quipped: 'F**k you.'

The move came after O’Brien, testifying before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions about unions, challenged Mullin, who fought as an MMA fighter prior to coming to Congress where he won with 61.8%, to a fight in June on X, formerly known as Twitter.

O’Brien’s social media post called Mullin a “clown” and “fraud” and ended with, “You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy.” The thrust of O'Brien's post challenged Mullin's "self-made" characterizations of his business background.

Mullin used his time during questioning to confront O’Brien over the comments. “Sir, this is a time. This is a place. You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults — we can finish it here,” Mullin said.

“OK, that’s fine. Perfect,” O’Brien responded to the challenge.

"Well, stand your butt up then,” Mullin taunted, with O’Brien telling Mullin to do the same.

Committee chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who was running the hearing, began pleading for them to stop.
