Experts weigh in on Ford autoworker suspension after incident with President Trump
- On Tuesday during a Ford tour, President Donald Trump gave the middle finger and mouthed an F-bomb at a worker at the Ford Motor Company Dearborn F-150 plant.
- Angry that the Epstein files weren't released, TJ Sabula, 40-year-old Ford line worker, shouted at Trump, calling him a 'paedophile protector' and identifying as politically independent.
- Online donors have poured money into Sabula's defense, with two online campaigns raising more than $600,000 as of Wednesday, after an earlier fundraiser topped $290,000 with a $5,000 top donation, and Sabula has been suspended pending review.
- White House spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed the video's authenticity Wednesday and defended Trump's response as appropriate.
- The UAW defended its member Sabula, contrasting with Ford Motor Company's stance that it "we don't condone" the heckling, while Sabula said `As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever`.
