Beto O'Rourke delivers pizzas, speaks to picketing Lordstown UAW workers [View all]
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke paid a visit to the idled GM Lordstown plant on Wednesday to deliver some pizzas and speak with picketing United Auto Workers outside.
The presidential hopeful and former Texas congressman spoke with workers, who said they did everything General Motors wanted and did not understand why they idled the Lordstown plant. They told O'Rourke they don't want to leave. They want to find a job close to home.
"Every person I've talked to has told me I played by the rules. I did everything GM asked me to do, and this is the reward I get at the end of my life," O'Rourke said.
O'Rourke brought up how the auto industry is moving more towards electric vehicles and asked why they can't bring those cars to the Lordstown plant.
