Joe Biden’s fiery attack: ‘So many like Trump look at us like we’re not their equal, I’m sick of it’

Vice President Joe Biden gave a fiery speech with VP candidate Tim Kaine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this morning along with labor leaders. Biden attacked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and similar one-percent corporation owners, who Biden says don’t see working people as equal to them.

“Know that there’s so many people like Trump who look at us like we’re not their equal. I’m sick of it,” Biden told the crowd. “I’ve had it up to here. Back 10 years ago when I spoke to the AFL-CIO convention, I said, and I meant it, the American Chamber of Commerce has declared war on labor’s house. It’s been an unrelenting war. They see their success, and so does he, in your demise. Not a joke. It’s about time we all woke up.”

Biden has long been a supporter of the labor movement and vice versa. It was the United Auto Workers who first endorsed Biden when he ran for the U.S. Senate at just 29-years old. Last year, Biden made news saying that unions are the ones who keep “barbarians at the gate,” protecting American workers from greedy corporations.
