Ford Worker Who Heckled Trump Says He Has 'No Regrets' After Suspension

A Ford plant worker who called Donald Trump a "pedophile protector" said he has "no regrets" after being suspended from his job pending a company investigation, People reports. On Tuesday, Jan. 13, Trump was caught on camera raising his middle finger and yelling "F--k you" in response, footage first shared by TMZ shows.

The man was identified by The Washington Post as 40-year-old TJ Sabula, a United Auto Workers Local 600 line worker at the Ford F-150 plant in Michigan. Sabula told the paper he is politically independent, believes he has been "targeted for political retribution" for "embarrassing Trump in front of his friends" by heckling about the controversy over the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and said he had "no regrets." He estimated he was about 60 feet away and said he had never voted for Trump but had supported other Republicans in the past.

Sabula said he is concerned about the future of his job; he has been suspended pending the company's investigation and the outcome is not yet known.
