Autoworkers booed President Joe Biden when former President Donald Trump referenced Biden's 12-minute visit to a picket line in Michigan.
JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty ImagesBoos rained down from striking members of the United Auto Workers when former President Trump referenced President Joe Biden’s 12-minute visit to Wayne County, Michigan, on Tuesday to “pose for photos at the picket line.”
“Yesterday, Joe Biden came to Michigan to pose for photos at the picket line,” Trump said, drawing a roar of boos for the Democrat president. “But it’s his policies that send Michigan autoworkers to the unemployment line.” Notably, the UAW is striking for wage increases in the wake of Bidenflation, as well as assurances from the federal government and automakers that their jobs and pay will not be devastated by Biden’s electric vehicle policies.
Trump spoke before union members and striking autoworkers in Clinton Township, Michigan, on Wednesday night ahead of the Republican presidential debate. Notably, Biden visited a picket line for just minutes on Tuesday and only announced the trip after Trump revealed he would be visiting members of the United Auto Workers.
“He only came after I announced that I would be here. You know, he announced quite a bit later, spoke for a few seconds … and he had absolutely no idea what he was saying,” Trump said. “He didn’t know where he was.”
