"Dude. I am a Teamster. I ran for office as an organizer and labor leader. I believe in unions to my core. Stand in solidarity with workers every single day. Bought & paid for? No... I am the union."

You realise that parent actually stated she was the architect and you disagreed about her being a teamster?

Doesn't look like an "admission" to me. Looks like pride.
