“I mean, we know that Donald Trump is a lapdog for the billionaire class,” Fain told CNN’s Abby Phillip on Wednesday.
When asked why he endorsed Harris after endorsing Joe Biden in January, Fain said the union was excited for Harris, while praising Biden for doing the “honorable thing” by stepping aside.
“Obviously, I think there’s a lot of energy around the campaign, and, you know, I know our members are very excited about Vice President Harris’s candidacy,” Fain said.
He added: “A person (Biden) in the most powerful position in the world that’s willing to do the right thing and put the country first, you know, that’s a very honorable thing.”
Fain also called Trump’s remarks at the National Association of Black Journalists convention “pathetic,” saying it was typical of the former president.
“All he knows how to do is name call and divide people. And I don’t even really, his comments today — I don’t even know how they dignify any type of response because, you know, the man is just, it’s just low,” Fain said.
