During a recent visit to a Ford plant, President Donald Trump was caught on camera flipping off a heckler, prompting strong criticism from MS NOW host Michael Steele. Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, described Trump’s behavior as “punkish” and reflective of an “underdeveloped man” in the White House.
The incident occurred as Trump toured the facility in Michigan, where a heckler shouted “pedophile protector” in reference to the president’s efforts to block the release of Jeffrey Epstein files. In response, Trump mouthed “fuck you” and extended his middle finger towards the heckler.
Steele condemned Trump’s actions, urging the president to “put your big boy pants on” and respect the opinions of the American people. He criticized the White House’s defense of Trump’s gesture, calling the heckler a “lunatic” and dismissing their response as over-dramatization.
The incident has sparked a heated debate, with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) joining the discussion to address Trump’s behavior. Watch the full discussion in the video below:
