Ford Suspends Worker Who Shouted at Trump During Factory Visit

Ford has suspended a worker who shouted abusive slogans at Donald Trump during his visit to a company factory. The worker, who yelled that Trump was a “protector of pedophiles,” was placed on leave pending an internal investigation. The United Auto Workers union expressed its support for the worker, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression in the workplace. The worker confirmed he does not regret his words, but fears he will be fired. A fundraiser in his support has raised a significant amount of money. The incident also drew reactions from the White House, which described the worker as “deranged” and Trump’s response as “entirely appropriate.”
