He said some pretty uncomfortable things to some of that audience. In his recent article, Cory suggested that if there is a way to break the Trump voting block it's to highlight the irreconcilable contradictions between the people in it. I had an initial knee jerk reaction to the news about this speech, but after listening to it, I think O'Brien did exactly that.
I agree! I was squirming a bit at the beginning when he was graciously thanking the hosts and individuals who have been pro-union, but once he got to the meat of the matter, he was scathing!

Yeah, I came in prepared to hear shameful bootlicking and I came out pretty good about what he did there. Still a bit controversial but I think positive on the whole. Especially for someone who's trying to get the best deal for his union members.
