Former Vice President Mike Pence laid the blame for the United Auto Workers strike against Detroit’s Big Three legacy automakers on President Joe Biden’s economic policies, saying it was the result of inflation cutting into wages and a transition to electric vehicles that threatens jobs.
“Joe Biden has weakened this country at home and abroad. That gusher of spending when they came into office, $2 trillion in unnecessary spending launched the worst inflation in forty years. Wages just haven’t kept up,” Pence said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
