A worker at the Ford factory in Michigan was suspended but said he had 'no regrets' after he accused Donald Trump of being a 'pedophile protector' during a visit to Tuesday.
TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old line worker at the factory, was given the penalty after Trump cursed him out and gave him the middle finger while touring the factory, according to The Washington Post.
'As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever,' Sabula told the outlet. 'I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.'
A video shows the president walking across a gangway as he points to a heckler below, mouthing, 'F*** you.'
Trump then gives the unknown individual the middle finger as he walks away. Earlier, the heckler could be heard calling the president a 'pedophile protector', an apparent reference to the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
'A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response,' White House spokesman Steven Cheung told the Daily Mail.
A Ford spokesman said: 'One of our core values is respect and we don’t condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities. When that happens, we have a process to deal with it but we don’t get into specific personnel matters.'

*******
Jane you’re one of a kind and one of my FR favorites.
“Carry On.”😀
Already being memed as a response to the left.
“The safest place to hide in America is in the Epstein files.”

I suggest you find the closest closet, go in, close the door and molest yourself.
The real protectors were the media by ignoring the MANY scenes of little girls and their mothers sniffed and fondled by the smiling Joe Biden. The internet never really covers up the slimy history, though as distressed girls’ screenshots show.
He responded as he chose. That’s alright by me.
When Kawasaki bought into Armco Steel to form AK Steel in Ashland. Ky. They brought the new investers into the plant. They had the men in the steam power department line up to meet them. Being a union man my dad didn’t care. As the Japanese made their way down the line shaking hands until they got to dad. Instead of shaking hands, he pointed to his ballcap which read, “Not enough bombs in ‘45”.

“Another apologist crawls out from beneath the rocks and slime.”
What is WRONG with some of these people, e.g., DesertRhino, et al.? Why are they here, except as stirrer-uppers?
The title says Trump yelled it, but thee article says he mouthed it.
Thanks. That sort of....settles the argument about whether or not it happened. Unless he was beginning to raise two fingers in the peace sign and the action was caught just then. 😉

People better get their minds right with this. Ronald Reagan was absolutely the right man for 1980. And Trump is 100% the right man for 2026.
If you can't see that the Left has been waging war on this country for decades and fully intend to destroy it so they can reconstitute it in their tyrannical Leftist image, you haven't been paying attention and need to step back and get out of the way. You can be offended in your own bubble.
Don't get in the way of people who are fighting back at these evil people.

RTFO. Regards
you’re obviously a little nutty
Are you sure?
“ Thanks to people like Sabula undermining quality control (never mind the hordes before him), I will never buy a Ford.”
I have owned four Ford trucks and have driven the wheels off of them, my current 04 F-150 has over 200k miles on it. That being said, the current Ford trucks are crap. My next truck will be a Toyota.
LOL, had to look it up...didn’t know what RTFO meant!
If the cars were built like the trucks used to be, I would have been a Ford guy decades ago. Once had a late 90s Mercury Topaz whose cylinder head gasket failed on me at about 88K.
