The Real Working Class Hero

from Battleground Wisconsin · host Battleground Wisconsin

America meet a real working class hero, Chuck Jones, the president of United Steelworkers 1999, who told Donald Trump “He's lying his a-- off," about his boasting of saving 1,100 jobs at Carrier. We discuss how Jones’ bluntness has entrapped Trump into a Twitter war with Jones that is keeping the issue in the national media spotlight and revealing Trump's phony solution. We also review Sen. Mitch McConnell’s comment this week that repealing the Affordable Care Act will be the first item up on January 3rd. We also look at how the Wisconsin GOP’s fight over the state transportation budget presents an opportunity for state Democrats to start articulating a compelling alternative vision for a 21st century transportation system that connects all our communities and our workers to tomorrow’s jobs and opportunities. We also update the presidential recount in Wisconsin.
