Pete Buttigieg Nails The Telling Reason Behind Trump’s ‘Old F YOU’ | EUROtoday

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has argued that Donald Trump flipping the fowl and mouthing the phrases “f**k you” to a heckling Ford autoworker, TJ Sabula, is predicted habits from the president.

During a chat on the Detroit Auto Show on Wednesday, Buttigieg was requested in regards to the incident that came about throughout Trump’s go to to a Ford manufacturing facility in close by Dearborn, Michigan.

“President Trump did literally what I believe he’s been doing figuratively for some time, which is give autoworkers the finger,” Buttigieg instructed Detroit Free Press reporter Liam Rappleye.

“Look, he’s been a union buster, he has presided over the loss of manufacturing jobs in this country, and then when somebody sees someone as powerful as him come into their workplace, he gives them the old F you.”

Video shared by TMZ on Tuesday reveals the alternate between Trump and Sabula, who referred to as the president a “pedophile protector” in a nod to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and his administration’s dealing with of recordsdata linked to the late convicted intercourse offender.

Sabula, who has since been suspended from his job, instructed The Washington Post that he has “no regrets whatsoever” about heckling the president. The United Auto Workers union mentioned it could defend Sabula following the suspension.

Crowdfunding campaigns on Sabula’s behalf have since collected over $800,000 in donations.

Buttigieg mentioned Trump’s response to the heckling is, “in some ways, it’s just in character for him.”

“And, obviously, my sympathies are with the worker and not the president,” he concluded.
