UAW Backs Worker Who Yelled at Trump, Condemns ‘Vulgar’ Behavior
President Trump made an obscene gesture at a Ford worker who called him a 'pedophile protector,' leading to the worker's suspension and union statements supporting his rights.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump during a Ford River Rouge Complex tour in Dearborn, Michigan, appeared to respond `f--- you` and gave the middle finger after a worker shouted `pedophile protector`.
- TJ Sabula, 40, Ford autoworker at Dearborn Truck Plant, identified himself and was suspended pending investigation; he fears being `targeted for political retribution` and his wife, Meg Sabula, 36, publicly backed him with the same gesture.
- Video analysts and outlets noted TMZ first obtained the clip, which White House communications director Steven Cheung said showed a lunatic screaming expletives while the worker was about 60 feet away from the president.
- Ford suspended the autoworker and said it values respect, the United Auto Workers issued a Jan. 14 statement to protect the member, and donors have raised over $300,000 in support.
- His social-media posts show provocative images on TikTok and Facebook, while the UAW urges protecting free speech but condemns vulgarity from anyone, including the president.
