STORY YOUMISSED
A fundraiser titled “ TJ Sabula is a patriot!!“ has quickly gained traction after the Ford auto worker was suspended for heckling President Donald Trump.
The campaign was launched to support the 40-year-old Michigan man following his viral confrontation at a Detroit Ford plant on Tuesday.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the fundraiser has raised $207,480 toward its new $250,000 goal.
The massive financial surge is fueled by more than 9,300 individual donations, reflecting a nationwide wave of support for the 40-year-old Michigan man.
Supporters created the page to help Sabula cover bills after he was sent home from his job pending an internal investigation.
The fundraiser description calls for people to “rally and support TJ” for calling the President a “pedophile protector.”
Organizers are also using the platform to push for the release of the “Trump/Epstein Files,” a common demand among the worker’s supporters.
Donors have flooded the page with supportive messages, with one contributor writing, “Thank you for bravely speaking the truth!”
“You’re a great American TJ! Have a Happy Hour beer on me!” one supporter commented alongside their contribution.
Another donor praised his actions, saying, “Thank you for taking the necessary steps to make America great again.”
A third contributor noted the personal risk Sabula took, stating, “Glad to give a little to someone who actually sacrificed something for this country!!”
Sabula, a political independent, remains under suspension at the plant and has expressed concerns about “political retribution.”
Despite the risk to his career, Sabula told the Washington Post he has no regrets about seizing the opportunity to confront the President.
The White House continues to stand by Trump’s reaction, with Communications Director Steven Cheung labeling Sabula’s behavior as that of a “lunatic.”
