Like first of all, the guy is pretending the working class is way more reactionary than it actually is. Secondly, who's organizing a group of iron workers in America anymore? Like I know it happens, but they're obsessing over a job that a very small handful of people have at this point. And the entire purpose is to build up right wing narratives of what the working class is, like the left isn't going to magically win if we pretend that the working class is entirely composed of socially conservative evangelical white men who work at coal mines or steel mills.
the stereotype was concocted by the right, to appeal to the white. The liberal use of the stereotype is a reaction. (they are being unwitting dupes)
It's exactly the same as "we've lost 5,000 American soldiers!" when there are like 2,000,000 Iraqis dead
American soldiers aren't the real victims, and "muh iron workers" aren't the real working class
