Fundraisers for suspended Detroit autoworker flipped off by Trump tops $450,000 overnight
"Trump appeared to raise his middle finger and repeatedly say fk you!' to worker TJ Sabula at a Ford-150 plant in Dearborn Tuesday when the union man called him a pedophile protector during a presidential visit to offer assurances about the nation's economy. Sabula's accusation changed the focus to the Justice Department's continued delays in releasing files regarding its long-running investigation of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."
"The accused human trafficker shared a friendly relationship with Trump, who told New York Magazine in 2002 Epstein was a terrific guy who enjoyed the company of women on the younger side and was fun to be around. Trump promised transparency with regards to the Epstein investigation, but has alienated even loyal supporters with his actions on the matter. He's denied wrongdoing."
"One GoFundMe page for the Michigan man, who was suspended from his job after publicly criticizing Trump, is labeled TJ Sabula is a Patriot!! It collected nearly $315,000 by noon Wednesday. A second fundraiser established by a friend of the Sabula family raised $150,000 by noon Wednesday. Sabula told the Washington Post he has no regrets, despite being suspended from his job pending an investigation."
Two fundraisers for Michigan autoworker TJ Sabula collected more than $450,000 overnight, including nearly $315,000 from one GoFundMe and $150,000 from a second fundraiser. During a presidential visit to a Ford plant in Dearborn, Trump appeared to raise his middle finger and repeatedly say an expletive after Sabula called him a pedophile protector while the president offered economic assurances. The incident shifted attention to Justice Department delays in releasing files from the long-running Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Epstein had a previously friendly relationship with Trump. Sabula said he has no regrets despite suspension pending investigation. The White House called Trump's response appropriate.
