AFSCME’s Saunders in response to Elon Musk implying public service workers are genocidal murderers: Musk has no clue what working people are going through

WASHINGTON – AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement after Elon Musk reposted a heinous and incendiary tweet in the early morning hours that said, “Stalin, Mao and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector workers did”:

“America’s public service workers – our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians – chose making our communities safe, healthy and strong over getting rich. They are not, as the world’s richest man implies, genocidal murderers. Elon Musk and the billionaires in this administration have no idea what real people go through every day. That’s why he’s so willing to take a chainsaw to people’s jobs, Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare.”

And that it basically gets filed under no big deal instead of being cause for immediate banishment from anything Government related makes me sick.
