Democrat Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill) claimed the word “manufacturing” is a sexist word and the reason why there aren’t many women in the field. Her comment comes as the Democratic Party attempts to find the right messaging that goes against President Donald Trump’s agenda.
During an Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Wednesday, Schakowsky told a group of lawmakers that the word “manufacturing” “sounds like a guy” because it has the word “man” in it.
Her bizarre remarks drew reactions that perfectly sum up Democrat’s lunacy against the Republican Party.
Well, at least this explains why Democrats did so much to harm American manufacturing. https://t.co/o7f2nymL4I

In contrast, Trump has prioritized bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. to strengthen the economy rather than focusing on concerns about potentially offending people.
One of the more significant moves Trump made days into his second term was to announce tariffs on other countries such as Mexico and Canada. He took decisive action to protect vital American industries by restoring a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and increasing the tariff to 25 percent on aluminum imports. In return, the president leveled the playing field for American manufacturers and helped protect them from threats.
Trump received praise from U.S. manufacturers for protecting industries on which America was built.
Aluminum Association President Charles Johnson said he appreciated the president's recognition of the threat that non-market actors pose to American manufacturing industries and his focus on decisive trade actions that support the aluminum industry.
American Iron and Steel Institute President Kevin Dempsey said he looks forward to working closely with the president to implement a “robust” and “reinvigorated” trade agenda that will address the foreign “market-distorting” policies.
Coalition for a Prosperous America Chairman Zach Mottl applauded Trump’s use of tariffs, which Democrats have criticized, calling it a “critical step toward restoring stability to American industry, safeguarding domestic production, and ensuring these critical sectors are not harmed by a surge of imports.”
