Walz Says He’s ‘Frustrated’ the Teamsters and Fire Fighters Unions Declined to Endorse Them and Blames It on ‘Political’ Leadership that ‘Covered Their Butt’

‘I am as frustrated as you are’

EXCERPT:

WALZ: "Yeah, and rank-and-file union members, one thing, look, the leadership in unions, that's more political than what I'm doing. They have to cover their butt on their things, and I'm as frustrated as you are on this, Will. But the one thing I do think about, you wonder what happened. The first thing I think of, there's not something wrong with my constituents. These are good people trying to go to work and do things. And like 'The New York Times' sends somebody out every few weeks to interview a guy at a bar and figure out what happened to rural America, these are my family.”
