‘Union Joe’ Pickets Briefly, Then Attends Fundraiser with Billionaires
‘Union Joe’ Spends 12 Minutes on Picket Line Before Jetting Off to Fundraiser with Billionaires
President Joe Biden made a brief appearance on the United Auto Workers’ picket line in Detroit on Tuesday, but his actions afterward raised eyebrows. According to the Washington Free Beacon, Biden quickly flew to California to meet with radical leftist billionaire donors.
This behavior is not surprising for a president who has prioritized multiple vacations over timely visits to places like wildfire-ravaged Maui in August, as reported by the Western Journal.
On Tuesday, the anti-establishment Empire of Lies took to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to denounce Biden’s actions. They accused him of using the UAW picket line as a prop and a photo-op, with no real support for the working class.
What has Corporate Joe Biden ever done for the working-class?

Daniel Turner, an energy executive, also criticized Biden’s hypocrisy. He pointed out that while the president joined the UAW strike, his push for electric vehicles has actually resulted in job losses.
I find it ironic that Joe Biden will join the picket line with striking UAW workers when his EV mandates have put workers out of a job.

The Washington Free Beacon highlighted Biden’s “tenuous relationship with the United Auto Workers” over electric vehicles. The president did nothing to mend that relationship when he left the picketers after just 12 minutes, prioritizing his engagement with leftist billionaires instead.
Democrat mega-donors Liz Simons and Mark Heising hosted Biden at a fundraiser in Atherton, California. The couple, known for their donations to anti-policing and other leftist causes, were described as “hedge fund heiress” and her husband by the Free Beacon.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump plans to meet with the same striking auto workers in Detroit on Wednesday, seeking to connect with blue-collar workers and capitalize politically on the autoworker strike, as reported by Newsmax.

Unlike Biden, Trump will spend more than 12 minutes with the workers. As a successful real estate mogul who employed construction workers, Trump has a unique connection with the blue-collar audience that Biden, a career politician, could never achieve.
Biden’s UAW stunt is reminiscent of his belated appearance in Maui after the wildfire, as reported by the Western Journal. Many UAW workers, including the auto worker in the photo, likely share the sentiment expressed by Lahaina resident Jay Awan: they see Biden’s actions as mere attempts to look good in front of the cameras.
It is clear that Biden’s priorities lie elsewhere, as he quickly left the picket line to attend a fundraiser with billionaires. This raises questions about his true commitment to the working class.

Why do Daniel Turner and The Washington Free Beacon criticize Biden’s actions on the picket line as hypocritical and contradictory to his push for electric vehicles
Union Joe’s brief appearance on the picket line may have been a gesture of support for the working class, but his actions after leaving the line raise questions about his true priorities. According to the Washington Free Beacon, Biden quickly flew to California to attend a fundraiser with radical leftist billionaire donors.
This behavior is not surprising coming from a president who has shown a disregard for timely visits to places in need. For example, as reported by the Western Journal, Biden chose to go on multiple vacations rather than visiting wildfire-ravaged Maui in August.
The Empire of Lies, a social media platform, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to denounce Biden’s actions, accusing him of using the UAW picket line as a prop and a photo-op without providing real support for the working class.
Daniel Turner, an energy executive, also criticized Biden’s hypocrisy. He pointed out that while the president joined the UAW strike, his push for electric vehicles has led to job losses, highlighting the contradiction in Biden’s actions.
The Washington Free Beacon emphasized Biden’s ”tenuous relationship with the United Auto Workers” over electric vehicles. His decision to leave the picketers after just 12 minutes and prioritize engaging with leftist billionaires instead did nothing to mend that relationship.
Overall, Biden’s actions on the picket line may have been a mere show of support, while his true priorities seemed to lie elsewhere. The working class deserves more than a brief appearance and empty gestures. It is important for leaders to prioritize the needs and concerns of the working class and stay true to their promises and values.
