The United Auto Workers bureaucracy hosted Biden while protesters outside denounced “Genocide Joe.”

In preparation for the presidential visit Thursday, UAW Region 1 headquarters in Warren, Michigan was transformed into a virtual bunker. The building was encircled by heavy-duty municipal dump trucks filled with road salt to protect the president from attack. Secret Service agents, Michigan state police and local cops from Warren and nearby Centerline blocked all streets leading to the UAW hall and kept protesters hundreds of feet away.

New Settlers chapter just dropped.

    UAW President Shawn Fain and the rest of the union leadership endorsed Biden’s reelection

    Absolutely fucking SHAME on you, “union leadership”. Leading where, you absolute fucking fascist-apologetic scum? No fellow workers of mine!
