Errol Louis: Trump Used ‘Carrots from Indiana Taxpayers’ to Keep Carrier in the State

‘Let’s keep in mind, this is 1,000 jobs that were saved, but 1,000 are also going’

CAMEROTA: "Let's talk about Mr. Trump's visit to Carrier, to the air-conditioning plant today. He had promised that he would save jobs. He delivered on that, at least to the tune of 1,000 jobs. What is unclear is whether he used the carrot or the stick. It sounds like he used the carrot to try to get Carrier to stay here in Indiana, but we don't know what those unspecified incentives were. What could they have been, Errol?" 
LOUIS: "They could very well be carrots provided by the taxpayers of Indiana, who -- Governor --" 
CAMEROTA: "Subsidies." 
LOUIS: "Governor Mike Pence might have done what governors have done for many years now, even as the country has lost 5 million manufacturing jobs, which is try and buy them back."
