Vice President Pence Issues Heartfelt Message to Truckers and Warehouse Workers
We can only hope that this newfound appreciation for our overlooked-yet-essential Americans continues well after the threat of COVID-19 has passed.
When Donald Trump was elected President, many Americans began to believe that a conservative awakening was on its way. Folks young and old were jumping on board the Trump Train, yearning for a government that would bring jobs back to our nation and bolster our working class.
And it’s not that our working class wasn’t always important – these people are the backbone of our entirety society. The issue was that some of these professions had lost the respect that they deserve.
Now, in our time of trouble, we are reacquainting ourselves with the importance of our nation’s truck drivers, warehouse workers, and factory employees.
The shift was not lost on Vice President Mike Pence.
Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday thanked food supply workers and truck drivers for keeping America running during the coronavirus crisis. He delivered his thanks personally during a visit to a massive Walmart distribution warehouse center in Gordonsville, Virginia.
