United Auto Workers is throwing its support behind the Ford factory employee who heckled President Donald Trump during a visit to Michigan on Tuesday — and appeared to prompt a vulgar response from the commander-in-chief.
During Trump’s visit to a Ford plant that produces F-150 trucks, he was caught on cell phone footage appearing to mouth “fuck you” twice from a catwalk above the factory floor to someone below. He also was filmed raising his middle finger at the person, later identified as TJ Sabula.
Off camera, a person assumed to be Sabula can be heard yelling “pedophile protector,” an apparent reference to the Trump administration’s slow rollout of Department of Justice files related to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
