Rhetoric of a Teamster

“Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa reaffirmed the controversial words he used when introducing President Obama at a Labor Day rally in Detroit, saying in a statement that when he called on workers to vote to “take these son of a b***hes out” he was “referring to voting out the Tea Party politicians in 2012, not inciting violence against members of Tea Party organizations.” In a briefing today, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that Hoffa speaks for himself, not the president.”
