Employee raises over $600K after suspension


A prominent conservative Evangelical political leader has criticized President Donald Trump's explicit gesture to a Ford factory worker in Michigan this week, calling out the "coarsening of our civic conduct."

Tony Perkins, who heads the Washington-based Christian conservative advocacy group Family Research Council, took to Facebook on Wednesday to respond to a news article about Trump's interaction with a factory worker who shouted at him.

Video of the encounter shared by TMZ shows Trump standing on an elevated walkway, shouting an obscenity and raising his middle finger after the factory worker reportedly called him a “pedophile protector," a reference to the ongoing controversy over the president's handling of federal records related to the late billionaire and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

IMO, that protestor deserved the middle finger.
Now, he's making $600K from it. Don't feel sorry for him.

For the record, it was was wrong what the “protestor” said to the President. I’m not defending their words at all.

I think it's too late for that old leopard to change his spots, even if he wanted to, which I'm sure he doesn't think he needs to; he's perfect.

Since Pelosi tore up that paper behind Trump, the conduct of our government representatives has been shockingly juvenile.

I think the blatant rudeness began in the House when Joe Wilson yelled "you lie" at Obama.
However, there was still hope at that time. The House reprimanded Wilson even though he still refused to apologize to the other members of the House.

I don't really care about the party who started it. Whatever child, from whatever party, should be ashamed and anyone who continues with the despicable behavior.
