The White House is defending President Donald Trump’s response to an auto worker in Michigan this week. The president gave the employee the middle finger and cursed at him, which the administration called “appropriate and unambiguous.”
White House spokesperson Steven Cheung released a statement supporting the president’s action. Cheung called the heckler a “lunatic” who was “wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage.” He said the president “gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.”
