"A 30-second video, obtained by TMZ, shows someone yelling in the president's direction, though it is unclear exactly what that person is saying. TMZ reported that person appeared to yell pedophile protector at the president. The video then shows the president pointing to the factory floor a few times as he continues to walk through part of the factory. He then appears to flip off someone on the factory floor with his right hand."
"A second video is then played showing what appears to be a more zoomed in shot of the same interaction. It also shows what TMZ suggests is a person yelling pedophile protector at the president while he is standing in one place. In the TMZ video, the president appears to respond by pointing at the person and mouthing or saying fuck you twice."
"We had a great event today and we're proud of how our employees represented Ford, Ford's Executive Director of Corporate Communications David Tovar said. We've seen the clip you're referring to. One of our core values is respect and we don't condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities. When that happens, we have a process to deal with it but we don't get into specific personnel matters."
President Donald Trump toured a Michigan Ford plant while a video captured a person yelling in his direction. TMZ reported the person appeared to yell "pedophile protector" at the president. Video shows Trump pointing to the factory floor and then appearing to flip off someone with his right hand. A second, more zoomed-in clip shows the same interaction and the president mouthing or saying "fuck you" twice. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung called the yeller a "lunatic" and defended the president's response. A line worker, TJ Sabula, identified himself as the yeller and has been suspended pending investigation. Ford said it values respect and will follow internal processes.
