Fox News contributor Brad Blakeman Monday rebuked Teamster president Jimmy Hoffa Jr. for using hate speech at a Labor Day rally in Detroit prior to remarks from President Barack Obama.
After presenting what appeared to be heavily edited video of Hoffa referring to Republicans by saying, lets take these sons of bitches out, Fox News host Megyn Kelly gave Blakeman a chance to respond.
I think its thuggery at its best, Blakeman replied. Its what unions are good at. Its what weve seen in Wisconsin and other places, intimidation
This is the touchy feely act before President Obama arrives? I mean, these are the kind of remarks youd expect out of Tony Soprano, not a union president. Well, I take that back. Hoffa presidency is the type of person youd hear this type of rhetoric.
When a union president says, lets take these sons of bitches out, it usually means somebodys legs are going to get broken, somebody is going to disappear. Tea party people dont use that kind of rhetoric.
