Watch: Trump Proudly Brags About How He Got Out of Paying Workers

When you support a convicted felon for POTUS, it's just another MAGA shoulder shrug.

Watch: Trump Proudly Brags About How He Got Out of Paying Workers

At an Erie, Pennsylvania, rally Sunday, Donald Trump let slip how he really feels about workers, telling his crowd of well-wishers how much he hated paying overtime at his companies.

“I know a lot about overtime. I hated to give overtime, I hated it. I’d get other people—I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay,” Trump said, basically admitting to wage theft and hiring scabs.

Indeed, Trump’s statement exposes the truth behind the GOP effort to woo working-class voters. The former president’s running mate, J.D. Vance, along with fellow Senator Marco Rubio and others, have long made token statements supporting workers and unions. But, as with Trump, it doesn’t take much to reveal these statements as hollow.

Conservatives actively work against unions and organizing, voting against pro-labor bills in Congress, with Republican-led states seeking to undermine organized labor with so-called “right-to-work” bills. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien caused a stir by speaking at the Republican National Convention over the summer, only for his speech to be met with crickets from the audience when he criticized corporations and championed union rights.

The Trump campaign, along with Republicans in recent years, has made inroads with working-class voters, even polling well with them. But as The New Republic’s Timothy Noah points out, every time the Republican Party regains control of the House of Representatives, it changes the Education and Labor Committee’s name to the “Education and the Workforce” Committee, going out of its way to dissociate itself from organized labor.

WVSPORTS.COM West Virginia head coach Neal Brown press conference summary

--Lot of good developmental work with the younger players and they got four good scrimmages in. Offensive lineman of the week for the developmental guys was Johnny Williams. Jacob Boyce is going to play himself into the rotation and he fit runs well and was defensive player of the week. Diore Hubbard was the offensive player of the week.

--TJ Crandall is questionable but everybody else will be up and ready to go.

--Oklahoma State is one of the toughest places to play in the league. Ollie Gordon is a special player and Alan Bowman has great stats and they have real speed at wide receiver. A couple guys will really go. Their nose guard is really good and their linebacker is as good as anybody in the league. Their safety is making good fits and stands out on film. It's going to come down to turnovers, who scores in the red zone and all that.

--What are their tendencies through four games and where are they being exploited is something that they do during bye weeks. Where are they not getting production and who can help them that's not playing right now. They did a lot of good on good work and self scouting.

--Brown said it really comes down to injuries. The guys that played through the first four games give them the best opportunity but they need guys that are ready to go. Boyce at safety is a guy that is going to play at safety. Diore Hubbard established himself and is a guy that an make plays. On the defensive line, Elijah Kinsler has done some nice things and he is the next guy up. DayDay Farmer is the next guy up at wide receiver and made some plays this week.

--Missed opportunities for Oklahoma State against Kansas State. They missed a field goal, they turned the ball over in the red zone and both of those opportunities it was close or they were ahead. That's a tough venue and the thing too is they're coming into this game off two losses. They had two losses last year early, too. They've dealt with adversity and came back before and Brown expects to get their best.

--Brown said he tries not to put former players in a bad situation like Jaden Bray who moved on from Oklahoma State. He doesn't want to put any pressure on him than he feels.

--Reid Carrcio will play, but Justin Robinson it will depend on practice. Preston Fox he will play and he practiced last night.

--Oklahoma State is an experienced staff and has proven that they can get their team back from losses.

--In football it's easy because you only play once a week, but Brown doesn't believe that there's real momentum from game to game but they can get confidence from it.

--The Oklahoma State corners are big strong guys that can play man coverage. They are physical within that.

--College football has a lot of issues off the field, but the product on the field is not one of them. The Alabama and Georgia game is an example of that. It's entertaining and Brown felt like Georgia was going to make a run. Kirby Smart did a really good job of handling the flow of the game and his confidence never wavered.

--Big long defensive ends and they run well. The stats are a little deceiving because of who they played. They always get take aways on defense and always getting stops in the red zone.

--Thought have to navigate NIL the best way you see fit. Brown feels comfortable with the processes here on that front.

--Ollie Gordon played well early in the game against Kansas State. They did some really nice things defensively but they missed some tackles on third down and in the fourth quarter West Virginia was trying to force the issue. Two of the runs by Gordon was against split zone and they didn't fit it well. They have to make sure they get multiple hats to the ball.

--Burks has played a lot of football and played his best game against Kansas.

--West Virginia has had most of the guys committed in the class so the earlier signing day hasn't changed a ton being moved to December. But the biggest thing holding over is what the rules are going to be.

--It doesn't do any good to look at the schedule they have one game a week and they need to compete and try to win the game then focus on the next week.

--Bowman is sneaky and they have hurt some people with the quarterback draw. The thing he does that's unique is he gets the ball out of his hands fast, that's more of a credit to him than the offensive line they've given up one sack all year. He gets the ball out of his hand and makes it difficult to get to him.

--Oklahoma State runs a lot of RPO. A lot of those plays when you throw it is you give up a lot of explosive passes. They're going to RPO a lot of runs to fit the seventh or eighth fitter. They've been throwing a lot of glances and slants to the deep part of the field. You have to be careful to try to entice him to throw.

--Brown said you have to play them trying to figure out how to contain Ollie Gordon and then everything in the game plan feeds off that. They have to figure out how to affect him.
