Sean O’Brien, the president of the Teamsters union, secured an invitation to speak at Donald Trump’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, Politico reports, in a booking that will likely not go as swimmingly as convention organizers hope. The Teamsters have not made a formal endorsement for president yet.
O’Brien also wants to speak at the Democratic National Convention in August, but the Biden campaign has not yet extended an offer. “This is truly unprecedented since it will be the very first time a Teamsters General President has addressed the RNC. Our 1.3 million members represent every political background, and their message needs to be heard by as wide an audience as possible, and that includes all political candidates running for elected office,” a Teamsters spokesperson said without noting if O’Brien will engage in a highly-desired cage match with Oklahoma Senator and general douche Marcwayne Mullin, who challenged O’Brien to a fight during a Congressional hearing last year.
