Teamsters President Reveals Kamala ‘Stormed’ Out Of Meeting, Couldn’t Answer Questions

Sean O’Brien, president of the Teamsters, recently revealed that during the 2024 presidential election season, Vice President Kamala Harris stormed out of a meeting with the union, telling O’Brien she’d “win with you or without you,” only to be crushed by President-elect Donald Trump in November. O’Brien recounted the incident during an appearance on “The Tucker Carlson Show” on Monday, during which he also talked about the union’s historic decision to pass on giving a presidential endorsement for the first time in three decades.

According to a new report from The New York Post, Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to sit down for a roundtable discussion after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race but ended up only answering 16 of the questions they had prepared. The other candidates in the race, including Trump, went the distance and answered them all.

“On the fourth question, one of her operatives or one of her staff slips a note in front of me — ‘This will be the last question.’ And it was 20 minutes earlier than the time it was going to end,” O’Brien said during the conversation with Carlson. “And her declaration on the way out was, ‘I’m going to win with you or without you.”

Carlson wisecracked, “Damn. I thought I was arrogant. That’s really arrogant.”

The Teamsters president then stated that he reached out to the president’s former Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh, to discuss the vice president. “Let me ask you a question, Marty. Excuse my French. Who does this f–king lady think she is?” he asked Walsh, who now serves as the top dog of the NHL Players’ Association.

The union president said he had met Biden before he ended his reelection bid and was concerned at his decline — saying the Democrats’ initial plan to run the 82-year-old for a second term “kinda looked like elderly abuse.” “We had Biden in there and you could just clearly tell he was not the man he was. It was kinda sad,” O’Brien said, adding that Biden was a good president for workers. Weeks before the election, O’Brien announced that for the first time since 1996 the Teamsters would not be endorsing a presidential candidate after years of a relatively reliable alliance with Democrats.

The union soon revealed that the vast majority of its 1.3 million members supported Trump over Harris, with totals of 59.6 percent and 34 percent, respectively. Before Biden exited the race, he was ahead of Trump 44.3 percent to 36.3 percent.

During the 2020 race, the Teamsters endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket and, before that, backed Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016.
