Charter Shill and Slimeball Michael Benjamin Joins Corporate attack on Leonie Haimson As People Rise to Her Defense

What has Leonie done wrong? See below these supporters from Change the Stakes and Leonie's response for her crime of exposing their agenda. What can one say about former failed politician Benjamin?

They never like to be challenged or forced to settle for only 99% of the pie. Using leonie to attack unions and ignoring the incredible work that she has done! Why do reporters go to her? Because she has the information, does her homework, and does represent the
