Democratic senators took Donald Trump, who has pledged to put “America first,” to task Monday at the Democratic National Convention for manufacturing his branded products pretty much everywhere except in America.



During his speech, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) slammed Donald Trump for outsourcing the manufacturing for his product lines, noting the various countries in which each of those products actually was made. That included Trump-branded dress shirts from Bangladesh, furniture from Turkey and picture frames from India.

“Why would Donald Trump make products in every corner of the world but not in Altoona, Erie or here in Philadelphia?” Casey asked. “Well, this is what he said. Quote, outsourcing is not always a terrible thing. Wages in America, quote, are too high. And then he complained about companies moving jobs overseas because, quote, we don’t make things anymore. Really?”

Casey then turned Trump’s own campaign catchphrase against him, arguing that real estate mogul can’t improve America if he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is and employ Americans.

“The man who wants to make America great does not make anything in America,” he said. “It is insulting that he has no plan, no plan to support the men and women were manufactured products here at home. All he has are empty promises like so many he has made and failed to follow through on before.”

“If you believe that outsourcing has been good for working people, and has raised incomes for the middle class, then you should vote for Donald Trump,” he continued. “I’m voting for Hillary Clinton.”

Casey, whose speech was proceeded by an video featuring comedian Ken Jeong running through some of Trump’s outsourced products, wasn’t the only one slamming the businessman for not making things in the U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) also took Trump to task for outsourcing his products and not paying small businesses their due.

“Donald Trump got rich by taking advantage of Americans like the hard-working Oregonians and my community back home, making his products overseas, hiring foreign workers instead of Americans for jobs that are right here in the United States,” he said. “Cheating small business contractors, never paying them what he owed. And scamming people out of their savings through his fraudulent university. Where I come from, people like Donald Trump are not the solution, they are the problem.”
