Teamsters boss reveals Bernie Sanders doesn't talk to him anymore

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said Tuesday that Sen. Bernie Sanders stopped talking to him after he made a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention, suggesting the silence stems from not endorsing the Democratic Party.

Teamsters President Sean O'Brien revealed on Tuesday that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stopped communicating with him after O'Brien spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, saying the senator's attitude and level of access have changed.

Speaking with The Free Press' Bari Weiss, the union boss said Sanders "doesn't talk to me anymore." 

O'Brien spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention but said he never heard back from the Democratic National Committee after requesting to speak. The Teamsters did not endorse Trump or Harris in 2024.

Asked if he used to talk to Sanders often, O'Brien said he used to do rallies with him: "I think he looks at it as a betrayal of not endorsing the Democratic Party."

"He's never said that, but his whole attitude and access have completely changed towards us," he said. 

O'Brien said his staff called Sanders and his team last week because they were working on the Faster Labor Standards Contract Act, which O'Brien said was a trimmed-down version of the PRO Act.

"He's got a problem with it and his staff [were] not too nice to my staff. So it's like, we're only as good to people when we're carrying that water, but I guess that doesn't matter," he said. 

"I mean, look, I like the guy. I have respect for him. I saw him on Joe Rogan. I don't know. I mean, this is the problem with politics. People take things too personal. And when you don't go along to get along because you're actually listening to people you represent, and they don't talk to you anymore, you know, that's the problem. It's fine," O'Brien continued.
