Ford has suspended worker TJ Sabula after he shouted 'paedophile protector' at President Donald Trump during a tour of its Dearborn plant in Michigan, prompting the president to flip him off and mouth expletives in response. The incident on 13 January was captured on video, showing Trump pointing at the heckler before making the gesture amid a crowd of workers.
Sabula, 40, a United Auto Workers member, referenced the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and expressed no regrets over his actions. Ford stated it does not condone inappropriate behaviour in its facilities and has launched an internal investigation.
