The International Brotherhood of Teamsters' supposed pivot toward the Republican Party has been exposed as nothing more than political theater, with new records revealing the union continues to overwhelmingly fund radical Democrats—including one who literally fantasized about murder.

According to a damning Washington Examiner investigation, Teamsters headquarters has been cutting checks to liberal politicians throughout their alleged "outreach" to conservatives, including a contribution to Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D-VA) made AFTER news broke about his disturbing text messages fantasizing about killing political opponents.

Let that sink in, Patriots. While Teamsters leadership was publicly courting President Trump and claiming to represent working-class Americans, they were secretly bankrolling the same radical Democrats who want to destroy everything we stand for.

Union Bosses Playing Both Sides

The Teamsters made headlines during the 2024 election by refusing to endorse either candidate—a move many saw as a historic shift away from their automatic support of Democrats. Union President Sean O'Brien even spoke at the Republican National Convention, giving conservatives hope that organized labor might finally wake up to the America First agenda.

But actions speak louder than words, and the union's financial records tell the real story. While rank-and-file Teamsters increasingly support Trump's pro-worker policies, their own leadership continues funneling their hard-earned dues to the very politicians working against their interests.

"This is exactly why working Americans are fleeing the Democrat Party in droves. Union bosses talk a good game, but when it comes time to put money where their mouth is, they're still in bed with the radical left."

Funding Violent Fantasies

The contribution to Jay Jones is particularly disturbing. This is the same Democrat politician whose private text messages revealed violent fantasies about killing political opponents—the kind of rhetoric that would end any conservative's career instantly.

Yet Teamsters leadership saw fit to reward this behavior with union members' money. How's that for representing the values of hardworking Americans?

President Trump has delivered more for union workers than any Democrat in decades—from bringing manufacturing jobs back to America to securing our borders against cheap foreign labor. When will union members demand their leaders stop betraying them?

Saw this coming from a mile away! The whole "flirtation" with Trump was just theater to fool their members.

My dad was a Teamster for 30 years and he's rolling over in his grave seeing what this union has become. Used to be about protecting workers, now it's just another ATM for the radical left.

So sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was from the generation when unions actually cared about American workers instead of woke politics.

My brother is a Teamster and he's furious about this. Says most of the guys in his local voted Trump but leadership doesn't care what the members actually want.

Time for the rank and file to demand new leadership. These union bosses are completely out of touch with their own members.

How is this legal? Using worker dues to fund campaigns that go directly against their members' interests seems like it should violate some kind of fiduciary duty.

Does anyone know how much they've donated specifically? Would love to see the actual numbers to share with my Teamster buddies.

According to FEC filings it's over $2.3 million just this cycle. Absolutely disgusting.

Shocked! (Not really)

Union leadership living in their ivory towers while pretending to represent blue collar workers who actually support Trump. Classic bait and switch.

This is exactly why Right to Work laws are so important. Workers shouldn't be forced to fund political causes they disagree with through mandatory union dues.
