Labor leader mocks Rep. Boehner in St. Louis

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka took aim at John Boehner ahead of the Ohio Republican's visit to Missouri this weekend. 

Trumka called the House minority leader "the tan wonder" and ridiculed Boehner's idea of "job creation" during a speech in St. Louis at the AFL-CIO state convention Tuesday.  

"His idea of job creation is to hire a second caddy," Trumka said.

Boehner will be in St. Louis on Saturday to raise money for lawyer Ed Martin (R), who is challenging Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.).

Trumka was there to talk up labor’s support for the Democratic ticket in Missouri. Boehner is also going to Jefferson City to raise money for Republican Vicky Hartzler, Rep. Ike Skelton's (D-Mo.) challenger.
