Male
Announcer: Millions of good jobs lost. Communities
devasted. The jobs? Moved overseas.
Only one candidate for president has consistently
fought trade deals that ship Michigan jobs overseas.
Bernie Sanders.
Sanders opposed the disasterous NAFTA trade deal,
opposed special trade status with China. Now he's opposing the
Trans-Pacific Trade deal.
While others waffle, Bernie is fighting hundreds
of thousands in new job losses.
For jobs. For us. Bernie.
Sanders
(voiceover): I'm Bernie Sanders, and I approve this
message.

Sanders the Only Candidate Who Fought Job-Killing Trade Deals
LANSING,
Mich.
– Bernie Sanders’ campaign released a new 30-second spot in
Michigan today, touting his record as the only candidate for president
“who has consistently fought trade deals that ship Michigan jobs
overseas.” To watch the ad, click here.
“Sanders
opposed
the disastrous NAFTA trade deal. Opposed special trade status
with China. Now he’s opposing the Trans-Pacific trade deal,
while
others
waffle,” the narrator says.
Hillary
Clinton
supported the North American Free Trade Agreement, which led to
the loss of 850,000 jobs, including 43,000 jobs in Michigan. She
claimed that permanent normal trade relations with China, which led to
the loss of 3.2 million American jobs and 80,000 Michigan jobs, would
be good for American workers. And the former secretary of state called
the Trans-Pacific Partnership the “gold standard in trade agreements.”
Clinton declined to take a stand against the deal when it mattered most
in the summer of 2015.
In
Michigan
over the past 15 years, 33 percent of manufacturing jobs have
disappeared. Half of Detroit’s auto workforce lost their jobs between
1998 and 2011. “Bernie is fighting hundreds of thousands of new job
losses,” the ad concludes.
Sanders
will
hold a rally tonight in Michigan where voters will head to the
polls in a week. Thursday morning he will hold a news conference with
workers personally affected by trade agreements to discuss their
disastrous impact.
