Talk about being tone deaf: Roger Wicker’s campaign says that all of Mississippi’s job losses due to his votes in favor of NAFTA and CAFTA are actually a good thing!
“Roger Wicker is for free trade, because it allows us to take our low-skilled, low-paying jobs like textile manufacturing, and replace it with high-skilled, high-paying jobs like Toyota.”
Stuck in hard times, Mississippi? Why, just go grab yourself one of them newfangled high-skilled, high-paying factory jobs! Don’t all y’all know that they’re growing on trees thanks to Roger Wicker’s courage?
Our friends at Cotton Mouth expose the hypocrisy:
Roger Wicker is attacking Ronnie Musgrove for losing manufacturing jobs even though total employment stayed about even.
But here his spokesman says that it is good that Mississippi is shedding “low skilled” manufacturing jobs.
Crumb-bums will be crumb-bums.
Seriously, MS is made up of mostly low skilled jobs and has one of the lowest median incomes of any state in the country. Guess it doesn’t matter if you’re only catering to the top 2% like Wicker.
The 40,000 jobs we lost in Mississippi are tough to get back. 4,000 jobs from Toyota just won’t cut it!
Just stunning. Nothing else to say. Just stunning. Please, PLEASE let Musgrove turn this into an add.
