ICYMI: 'Auto Workers for Trump' Leader Says Thousands Poised to Break From Dems Over Green Policies, Job-Killing Regs

September 16, 2024

In case you missed it, auto workers across Michigan are standing up to UAW leadership and making it clear that they are out of touch with the rank and file, Fox Digital reported. 

“Kamala Harris is on record saying she would like to see all vehicles built in the United States reaching zero-emissions by 2035. She supported legislation to that effect when she was a U.S. senator,” [Brian Pannebecker] said, going on to cite broadcasted claims that she was the most liberal U.S. senator.

“Even more liberal than Bernie Sanders, so she’s dangerous,” [Pannebecker] said. “She knows nothing about manufacturing. She knows nothing about the economy. She’s a San Francisco liberal district attorney. And then she was California’s attorney general. And we all know what’s happened in California. They’ve ruined that state.”

Dangerously liberal Kamala Harris refuses to give Michiganders a straight answer on her future for gas-powered cars. Her campaign proposal from 2020 would ban all gas cars by the year 2035 – costing Michigan at minimum37,000 jobs – but according to AXIOS she’s now refusing to clarify if she still supports it. 

All we know is that her “values have not changed.” 

So it’s not shocking that more and more Michigan auto workers are finding their place in the Republican Party.

In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News Digital, founder Brian Pannebecker said his group started with 30 active United Auto Workers (UAW) members who all supported former President Trump in 2016.
