Then you understand nothing about politics. Imagine being so dim that you don’t realize you can promote any person you want, at all, for any reason at all, and that it benefits you to do so whether they’ve made any political statement about you at all. Do you think the trash collectors’ union carefully vets the statements of candidates with regards to trash collection before issuing their endorsement? Or perhaps they simply look for anyone who seems aligned with union interests at all? Jesus christ.
