TJ Sabula, an employee at Ford, was dismissed from his job following his protest against President Donald Trump during the latter's visit to Michigan. The GoFundMe campaign initiated in support of Sabula surpassed $800,000 within 24 hours, reigniting debates on freedom of speech and workers' rights.
Tensions ran high during US President Donald Trump's visit to a Ford factory yesterday. The spotlight was on a factory worker who made an 'Epstein' reference to Trump, to which the president responded with an inappropriate hand gesture and a curse. According to TMZ, this particular worker shouted 'pedophile protector' loudly as Trump was making his way through the factory.
White House Spokesperson Steven Cheung, on the other hand, defended the incident in an interview with Reuters. He stated, 'There was a lunatic who was completely out of control, cursing wildly. The President gave a clear and appropriate response to this.'
In the wake of his dismissal by Ford, TJ Sabula quickly garnered substantial support, particularly due to the widespread attention the incident received on social media. A fundraising campaign launched on GoFundMe in Sabula's name saw donations exceeding $800,000 within just 24 hours.
