Firefighter union leader calls Trump attacks over Biden endorsement 'counterproductive'

<snip>

"The head of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) called President Trump’s attacks over the organization’s endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic primary “counterproductive.”

Harold Schaitberger told Hill.TV on Thursday that Trump has a lot of “audacity” to claim last month that he has “done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do."

“I didn’t find that helpful and quite frankly I think it was counterproductive,” Schaitberger said."

"Schaitberger said the union continues to be “all in” for Biden’s campaign for president. He emphasized that the organization plans to be very active throughout the Democratic primary and has already started planning for its early primary caucus and state operations.

“I’m very confident we’ll be successful and Joe will become the nominee and the next president,” he told Hill.TV."
