Randi Weingarten, the infamous face of America’s teachers’ unions and a key architect behind the pandemic-era school shutdown calamity, has found something to celebrate. Her unbridled enthusiasm for Donald Trump’s latest pick for Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, should have every conservative on high alert. In a political ecological crisis where everything is suspect, the backing of a radical union leader can only spell trouble.
Trump’s attempts at unity have historically been met with disdain from Democrat leaders, who seem more interested in waging war against conservative ideals rather than fostering a collaborative spirit. Chavez-DeRemer’s appointment could be reminiscent of past missteps that led to disastrous governance. Just as Abraham Lincoln was misguided in choosing Andrew Johnson in a futile bid for unity, Trump’s latest labor pick could betray the MAGA movement that voters rallied behind in fervent support.
While many may attempt to shift blame for the restrictive COVID-19 measures that plagued American families, it’s crucial to remember that these disastrous policies were not concocted solely by the Biden administration. Trump himself placed significant faith in figures like Anthony Fauci, inadvertently steering the ship towards regulatory ruin regarding health directives. More troubling is that the very same Randi Weingarten, who once championed teacher’s unions to enforce prolonged school closures, is now effusively backing Chavez-DeRemer, raising flags about her commitment to conservative values.
Weingarten’s legacy during the pandemic speaks volumes; she played a pivotal role in ensuring schools remained locked down while countless students’ educations were at risk. Not only did she wield excessive influence over the American Federation of Teachers, but she also exploited her position to demand considerable funding for schools while resisting moves to reopen them despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Her union secured upwards of $180 billion in taxpayer dollars, a staggering amount that often failed to yield the promised educational reforms or reopenings.

Chavez-DeRemer’s warm reception from Weingarten should not be brushed off lightly. It signals not just a disconnection from core conservative beliefs but a potential compromise of the very progress conservatives seek. Those who align themselves with individuals like Weingarten—known for pushing LGBTQ ideology in schools and seeking to normalize radical educational agendas—threaten the pillars of the MAGA agenda. It becomes abundantly clear that if Randi Weingarten is pleased, those committed to restoring conservative principles should be profoundly concerned.
