"When President Trump invited me to speak at this convention, there was political unrest. On the left and on the right. (It's) hard to believe. Anti-union groups demanded that Trump rescind the invitation. The left called me a traitor. This is precisely why it's so important for me to be here today. Think about this: The Teamsters are doing something correct if the extremes of both parties think I shouldn't be on this stage."
Sean O'Brien, Teamsters President @ RNC

Literally doing the meme of "I know I'm right if everyone hates me".

Yeah that would also be cringe. But at least there's something resembling precedent there. This is just unconscionable
