Donations for suspended Ford worker who heckled Trump hit $500K

The employee Ford Motor suspended for heckling President Donald Trump — who in turn appears to have given the employee the middle finger — is getting plenty of support from his friends.

Two GoFundMe pages for the suspended Ford employee, identified as T.J. Sabula, have raised more than half a million dollars as of the early afternoon of Jan. 14.

A GoFundMe spokesperson confirmed the two pages as legitimate fundraisers for Sabula. The Free Press reached out to Sabula, who did not responded to inquiries for comment. The GoFundMe spokesperson said he asked the organization to communicate that he is declining interviews at this time.

The incident that led to the worker being suspended without pay happened Jan. 13 during an afternoon visit by Trump to Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant, where Ford assembles its F-150 pickup. Trump toured the facility ahead of a planned speech before the Detroit Economic Club.
