Teamsters boss says 'smug' Kamala Harris alienated union
'Teamsters president Sean O’Brien accused then-Vice President Kamala Harris of pressuring his union for an endorsement...He described one off-putting encounter a Teamsters leader had with the 2024 presidential candidate in a photo op line:
"So, Joan goes in the line and Joan says, 'I'm Joan Corey. I'm a vice president with the Teamsters Union,' and [Harris] pointed her finger at Joan and said, 'Teamsters better get on board,' and so Joan says, 'Excuse me?' 'Yeah, Teamsters better get on board. I don't know why you haven't endorsed me yet.' So she comes back, and she tells me this, and I'm like, 'The nerve!'"...O’Brien paraphrased her closing as essentially telling the union leadership, "‘Listen, I’m going to win with you or without you.’"
"And it was like such a smug answer, like, okay, and that turned the majority of the people in that room off her," he said. O’Brien then described their postmortem of the meeting, noting that many in the union leadership were turned off by Harris’ smug demeanor and body language.'
