President Trump ripped into leaders of the largest firefighters union in the country once again Wednesday morning
President Donald Trump ripped into leaders of the largest firefighters union in the country once again on Wednesday after it endorsed Joe Biden in the Democratic primary earlier this week.
“I’ve done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do, and I get paid ZERO!” Trump wrote in a tweet Wednesday. He followed that post with more than 50 retweets of Twitter users who agreed that the firefighter's union was out of step with its membership.The International Association of Fire Fighters gave Biden his first union endorsement Monday, days after the former vice president had officially jumped into the race for president.
The blue-collar workers who make up the membership of labor unions had historically been a key Democratic constituency before shifting to vote for Trump in the 2016 election. Several unions also faced backlash from membership earlier in the 2016 race for endorsing Hillary Clinton over then-dark horse candidate Bernie Sanders.
The IAFF is the first major labor union to throw its support behind Biden, but the former vice president’s support with middle class voters and Trump’s persistent antagonizing of union leaders who scorn him mean it’s likely not to be the last.
