President Trump traveled to Michigan on Tuesday to tour Fords F-150 plant in Dearborn and address the Detroit Economic Club, drawing both enthusiastic support from workers and a profane outburst from a single disgruntled employee.
According to Gateway Pundit, the President received a warm welcome on the factory floor, pausing to take selfies with employees as he walked alongside Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. That cordial scene was briefly interrupted when an auto worker began shouting insults, appearing to yell pedophile protector! as Trump passed by.
President Trump responded in kind, flashing a middle finger and appearing to say or mouth, f*ck you, refusing to quietly absorb the abuse so often normalized against conservatives in blue-collar workplaces. White House spokesman Steven Cheung later defended the Presidents reaction, stating, A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.
The Detroit Free Press reported that the loudmouthed employee, identified as auto worker TJ Sabula, was suspended following his on-the-job tirade against the President. Sabula, however, has portrayed himself as a victim, insisting he has no regrets whatsoever about heckling the Commander-in-Chief while on company time.
Sabula said he was later suspended from his job pending an internal investigation into the incident, but that he has no regrets whatsoever, FOX News reported. As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever, Sabula told The Washington Post, adding that Trump could hear him very, very, very clearly from about 60 feet away.
Although he admits concern about his job, Sabula claims he was targeted for political retribution for embarrassing Trump in front of his friends, a narrative eagerly embraced by the left. He is now raising money on GoFundMe, where progressive donors appear more interested in rewarding public vulgarity toward a sitting President than respecting workplace standards or basic civility.
