Who just said he 'hated to give overtime?'

Here's a news quiz. Who just said, “I know a lot about overtime. I hated to give overtime, I hated it. I’d get other people—I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay.”

Hint: The quote's source is the former president who styles himself the blue collar champion and wants his old job back.

At a Sunday campaign rally in Erie, Pa., Donald Trump fundamentally admitted "to wage theft and hiring scabs," New Republic staff writer Hafiz Rashid reminded his readers while adding a Harris campaign statement from The Daily Beast: “Donald Trump is finally owning up to it: He’s built an entire career on screwing over workers. It’s exactly what he did in the White House—trying to rip away tips and overtime pay for millions of workers–and exactly what he plans to do in a second term.”

Concluded Rashid: "Indeed, Trump’s statement exposes the truth behind the GOP effort to woo working-class voters. The former president’s running mate, J.D. Vance, along with fellow Senator Marco Rubio and others, have long made token statements supporting workers and unions. But, as with Trump, it doesn’t take much to reveal these statements as hollow."
