At a marketing campaign occasion in Michigan on Friday, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz defended Detroit in opposition to disparaging remarks that Donald Trump made the day earlier than.
“Donald Trump was in Detroit, and he said, ‘Our whole country will end up being Detroit. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,’” Walz stated, talking at Macomb Group School. “That’s not unexpected for him … But if that guy would have ever spent any time in the Midwest, like all of us know, he’d know Detroit’s experience and American comeback and renaissance.”
“City’s growing, crime’s down, factories are opening up,” Walz continued. “But those guys, all’s they know about manufacturing is manufacturing bullshit—every time they show up, every time they show up.”
Walz highlighted Trump’s failure to ship on his guarantees to employees, with the lack of tons of of 1000’s of producing jobs (even earlier than COVID-19 pandemic). Walz reminded the viewers how Trump promised them, “If I’m elected, you won’t lose one plant.” It was a promise he broke simply a few years later when GM introduced closures of crops throughout the nation, together with in Ohio and Michigan.
“Technically, it wasn’t a lie because he lost six of them, not one.” Walz stated.
