Things are getting a bit strange in the wake of the AP’s revelation that Joe Donnelly has been profiting off of his family business’s outsourcing jobs to Mexico.
After the AP reported on the company’s outsourcing activity and Joe Donnelly was called out for the rank hypocrisy of attacking other businesses for outsourcing jobs while profiting from the same practice, Mexico Joe, in a panic, announced that he would sell his stock, locking in his profits. And now, his family’s company has removed reference to the Mexico facility from their website (compare the website as it stands today to as it appeared before Donnelly’s scandal). So did Mexico Joe and his family have a change of heart and move these jobs back to the United States? Or are they continuing to outsource manufacturing jobs to Mexico and just trying to hide it from Indiana voters?
“No amount of website editing can hide the fact that Joe Donnelly and his family business profited from shipping jobs to Mexico,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Mexico Joe has been caught in the act engaging in astonishing hypocrisy, and Hoosiers are not likely to forget.”
