GM’s Opening Day display in Detroit draws Ryan’s ire

COLUMBUS

U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-13th, of Howland, criticized General Motors on Thursday for showcasing a foreign-made car at the Detroit Tigers’ Opening Day at Comerica Park.

The vehicle displayed was a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS.

“In the wake of GM closing five plants across the country, it’s a slap in the face for American workers to showcase foreign-made cars alongside America’s pastime. It’s not enough that thousands of families lost their livelihood or were forced to move away from their communities, but now they must watch as a foreign-made car is propped up in Motor City of all places. This tone-deaf display is an insult to their tireless work and dedication to this company. GM should know and do better,” Ryan said.
