Kristen McDonald Rivet Puts Politics Ahead of Autoworkers

March 31, 2025

The United Auto Workers (UAW) called President Trump’s auto tariffs a “victory for autoworkers” writing in part, “these tariffs are a major step in the right direction for autoworkers and blue-collar communities across the country.”

UAW President Shawn Fain said, “we’ve begged Democrats, politicians for years, to do something to get these companies in line.” 

After claiming to support autoworkers, Kristen McDonald Rivet is now refusing to support the UAW-backed auto tariffs, putting partisan politics ahead of Michiganders.

“Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet is so consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome that she can’t even do what’s right for Michigan workers. Time and time again, McDonald Rivet proves just how out of touch she is with real Michiganders—pushing partisan nonsense instead of real solutions.” – NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon
