Overview
- A cellphone video, as described by the Washington Post, showed Trump mouthing an expletive and flipping off a worker after hearing “pedophile protector” at Ford’s Dearborn F-150 plant.
- O’Donnell celebrated Sabula on The Last Word and resurrected Graydon Carter’s “short-fingered vulgarian” label to mock Trump.
- Ford suspended Sabula pending investigation, and the UAW said it would protect his contractual rights and denounced vulgar behavior toward workers.
- Two GoFundMe campaigns set up to support Sabula raised more than $809,000 in under a day before donations were closed with a thank-you note.
- Sabula told the Post he stood about 60 feet away, identifies as politically independent, and said his shout referenced Trump’s handling of the Epstein matter.
