About that Ford employee
-
Tens of thousands of dollars have been raised for an autoworker at a Ford plant in Michigan who was suspended without pay after heckling Donald Trump.
TJ Sabula is said to have called the president a “pedophile protector” as Trump toured the automotive giant’s River Rouge complex on Tuesday.
Trump then appeared to give Sabula the middle finger, according to a video published by celebrity news and gossip site TMZ, which claimed that Trump also yelled obscenities prior to making the gesture.
The GoFundMe is over $320K.

Hell, you could buy a new one.
Thomas “TJ” Sabula is asking people to please stop sending money.
The UAW member, suspended from his job by Ford Motor Co. after he shouted “pedophile protector” at President Trump during a factory tour in Dearborn on Tuesday, said he is grateful for overwhelming public support and now asks that people send their money to other deserving causes.
Fundraising on his behalf collected $810,000 from Tuesday through Wednesday.
“We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support! At this time we are closing donations to this campaign and encourage you to look for other causes and organizations to support,” said a note at the bottom of both original GoFundMe pages. “We appreciate every single donation, comment, share, and sign of support!”
