Also, he claimed he was fired for “political retribution.” He said it was for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”
Seizing the Opportunity
Sabula feels proud of his actions. He explained his motivation clearly. Sabula said: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” He finally added: “And today I think I did that.”
Ford and White House React
Ford executive David Tovar addressed the situation. He told CNN: “One of our core values is respect and we don’t condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities.” Meanwhile, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung defended Trump. Cheung stated: “A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response,”
