DEBATE: MSNBC Analyst Suggests Race Factored Into Failed Union Vote

FOX NEWS INSIDER - A comment about race and unions on MSNBC touched off a heated debate this morning between The Five co-hosts Bob Beckel and Andrea Tantaros.
Timothy Noah, a contributing writer for MSNBC, raised eyebrows yesterday by suggesting that race was a factor in a recent vote by Tennessee auto workers against unionization.
The Volkswagen plant employees in Chattanooga voted 712 to 626 against joining the United Auto Workers Union.
"The opposition, I gather, portrayed this as a kind of Northern invasion, a re-fighting of the Civil War. Apparently there are not a lot of black employees in this particular plant, and so that kind of - waving the Confederate flag -  was an effective strategy," said Noah.
Tantaros called it a "really tired, desperate argument" when the issue is really about workers not wanting to lose wages to a union.
Beckel pushed back, saying he knows the area very well and believes a "cultural undercurrent" played a role in the union vote failing.

Shameful: MSNBC Blames Failed UAW Vote in Tennessee on Racism

By Sara Noble, The Independent Sentinel
Timothy Noah, a whiney-tongued income inequality writer for MSNBC is a former senior editor at the far-left propaganda journal The New Republic and was a senior writer for Slate, another far-left tool. He went onto MSNBC yesterday and fabricated a story out of whole cloth about racism being the cause of the workers rejecting the UAW contract at the Volkswagen plant in Tennessee a few days ago.
The interviewer then made a baseless allegation that the reason behind this billboard below was racism.

This is the real reason the UAW workers voted down the UAW unionization effort:


Racism is real and when irresponsible people invent racism events out of thin air, they are hurting efforts to end racism. They are also race-baiting. This is a real insult to the 712 people who voted against the UAW contract.
