2:43Now Playing"The 129 Bangladeshis who died in a fire caused by poor fire safety conditions in their garment factory should be thankful for their jobs, according to Fox Business host Charles Payne. Speaking with Neil Cavuto on Fox News this Monday, Payne excused this Sunday's fire as a rare event and labelled all critics of the unsafe conditions that contributed to the tragedy as anti-Capitalist:
PAYNE: It is tragic. I don't think something like this will happen again. Don't think that the people in Bangladesh who perished didn't want or need those jobs, as well. I know we like to victimize everyone in this country, particularly when it comes to for-profit motivation, which is being assaulted. But, you know, it is a tragedy but I think it is a stretch, an amazing stretch, to sort of try to pin this on Walmart but, of course, the unions in this country are desperate."*
129 people were killed in a Bangladesh factory fire after the exits were sealed and the workers were told to keep working. Charles Payne of Fox News offered a very callous rebuttal about the workers wanting those jobs in support of "the American Dream." Cenk Uygur breaks down that disgusting view of capitalism.
