A group of political experts warned Wednesday that President Donald Trump‘s reaction to an auto worker at a factory this week could have repercussions ahead of the midterms.
Trump was visiting a Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan when worker TJ Sabula reportedly yelled “pedophile protector” at the president who was walking in the warehouse above a group of workers. Sabula has since been suspended from his job at the factory.
In a video capturing the moment, Trump mouthed back — twice — “F— you!” He pointed his finger at Sabula below him, then he switched to giving his middle finger directed at him.
During a live broadcast Wednesday with CNN anchor Kasie Hunt, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned Trump that his expletive response, and finger, could have a backlash on Republicans already weary ahead of the upcoming midterms this November.
“Let’s talk politics. Don’t flip off an auto worker in Michigan with the midterms coming,” de Blasio said.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, former Press Secretary of the Department of Defense, also had a similar sentiment, adding “that will definitely appear in Democratic ads.”
