The autoworker who was suspended for calling President Donald Trump a "pedophile protector" during the president's visit to a Ford plant in Michigan on Tuesday, a remark that prompted a middle finger from the commander in chief, said he has "no regrets."
TJ Sabula, 40, shouted "pedophile protector!" at Trump as he was touring the Ford River Rouge complex in Dearborn.
The president responded by mouthing the words "f--- you" twice and giving the middle finger, according to video of the incident obtained by TMZ, which reported that the exchange followed a person shouting an insult at the president off camera.
