Teamsters president Sean O’Brien hit back Wednesday at Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz for suggesting that certain union leaders lacked “courage” by refusing to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

Walz, 60, had told “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart Monday that “some of those union leaders didn’t show the courage they needed to” by sitting out the 2024 election cycle without backing either Harris or former President Donald Trump.

“That’s kind of a knucklehead statement — I show courage every day,” O’Brien, 52, told Fox Business Network, using the Minnesota governor’s own excuse when confronted with his past misstatements. “It’s disrespectful to our members and the process.”

“He’s talking like an educator, like he’s in a classroom teaching a lesson,” O’Brien went on. “The lesson that needs to be taught is that our members don’t need to be educated — our members are educated. That’s the problem with the Democratic Party right now, is they are looking down on our members.”
