Charlie Dent to Harris: If You Want to Harm Steel Industry, Kill the Deal Between Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel

EXCERPT:

DENT: “Well, I think he could provide some limited benefit, but you know I I've heard people say that Joe Biden was Pennsylvania's third senator. The only person I ever heard say that was Joe Biden to be honest with you and I'd served 28 years of elected office in Pennsylvania. Hey, but if you're out in Pittsburgh and you want to talk about helping American manufacturing and American workers you really shouldn't oppose this deal between Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel. The Japanese are going to invest huge amounts of money in technology to make steel better in America, and what we're witnessing is just people talking nostalgically about steel. I'm from a steel family, 30 years, Bethlehem Steel, my dad. And I got to tell you, you want to do harm to America steel, kill this deal.”
