During that tour, an auto worker can be heard yelling at the president, "pedophile protector!"

In the video, which I shared below, Trump can be seen looking toward the heckler, pointing, and appearing to mouth "f**k you".

As he walked away, he turned back and extended his middle finger toward the crowd.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung confirmed the president flipped the bird and defended Trump's actions in a statement, saying

A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response

The Detroit auto worker likely yelled “pedophile protector” at President Trump in reference to Trump’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein and to criticism that Trump tried to block the release of certain Justice Department files related to Epstein.

I'm curious to know if anything happened to the Auto Worker. I know if I yelled something like that at my job, I would be fired.
