Both women, despite their Republican support, feel let down by the administration's handling of job security, illustrating a broader theme of working-class struggle amidst corporate layoffs.
I cried, Jennifer Piggott told the network. It's a really scary thing, and I was embarrassed. She said targeting working-class Americans for layoffs just doesn't make sense to her.
I expected more from President Donald Trump, she told CNN.
