Ford Worker Suspended for Calling Trump a 'Pedophile Protector' Says He Has 'No Regrets Whatsoever' [View all]

Source: Newsbreak

The auto worker who called President Donald Trump a “pedophile protector” during Trump’s visit to a Detroit Ford plant on Tuesday has been suspended from his position pending an investigation.

Following the incident on Tuesday, which saw 40-year-old TJ Sabula shout “Pedophile protector!” at Trump, before the president responded with a middle finger and a “f*ck you” the auto worker was reportedly suspended from his position.“
As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever,” Sabula told the Washington Post.

Despite having no regrets about his choice of words for the president, Sabula did express concern over his future at the plant, claiming he had been “targeted for political retribution” for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”

Sabula identified himself to the newspaper as a political independent and said that while he had never voted for the president, he had supported other Republican candidates.
