Attacks union leader Chuck Jones for fact-checking Carrier job numbers
After United Steelworkers Local 1999 President Chuck Jones appeared on CNN to correct Trump’s inflated claims about the number of jobs saved at the Carrier plant (noting only 800 were saved, not 1,100), Trump attacked him on Twitter, saying Jones did a “terrible job representing workers.” The targeted harassment led to Jones receiving death threats, marking an escalation in Trump’s use of his platform to intimidate private citizens who contradicted him.
"Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!" — Twitter post
