Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) made an announcement last week that the reason the Republicans are losing so badly these days is because of “forced unionism”. He said that especially in the Northeast, good Republican voters are leaving the area to migrate South to avoid labor unions and “forced unionism”. So now Dems outnumber Republicans in these non right to work states.
Is this guy a joke or what??
He doesn’t explain why the Democrats carried North Carolina or Virginia, both considered Southern right-to-work states, in 2008. Nor why other right to work states abandoned the Republican party that year, like Florida, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
The Republicans really need to put a clamp on who’s allowed to speak publicly for the party and who’s not. Statements like this only make the Republicans look stupid.
