FULL TITLE: Single mom, 50, is fired from her job at a government firm and escorted from the building after revealing she was the woman who flipped off President Trump's motorcade The cycling enthusiast who gave President Trump a piece of her mind last month when she flipped off his motorcade while out on a weekend bike ride is revealing she heard an f-word of her own soon after the incident.
Juli Briskman, 50, told The Washington Post that she was fired from her position at the Virginia-based marketing firm Akima just hours after she identified herself as the woman in the photo.
The single mother, who has two teenage children at home, claims that she was taken into a room, told she violated a section of conduct that is outlined in the company's social media policy and escorted out of the building with a box of her belongings.
That unceremonious dumping did little to make Briskman rethink her actions though, with the newly unemployed executive responding a question about any possible regrets by stating: 'I'd do it again.'
That statement was confirmed on Briskman's Facebook page, where her banner image was changed to the now-viral image of her one-fingered salute just two days before she identified herself as the woman in the photo to her bosses at Akima.
Given the grounds for her termination, it would seem that her decision to post that banner image was what ultimately led to her losing her job.
The CEO and Director of HR at Akima did not respond to requests for comment.

Maybe I am just slow, but I am not understanding how that can be referred to as a “government firm”.
Anyone who works in marketing in any company knows that on or off the clock, you are representing your company to the public. Her employer should have fired her.
....and then there’s GoDaddy, which has not fired their infamous employee, Mr. Pepper Balls, who was videotaped throwing and kicking tear gas canisters at the Phoenix Police. Tells you A LOT about GoDaddy.
Its a marketing firm. If I were to do that given I work for top fortune 100 - 500 companies the same thing would happen.
My youngest will be 11 when I turn fifty. It happens.
Damn!
Someone has standards?
Another attention whore. How did I know it was either gone to be a black or Jewish female???
#sorrynotsorry
yep again..another desperate attention whore trying to gain “cool” points with the other leftist losers on social media.
Overtime a liberal get’s their comeuppance an angel gets its wings!!!

Not a government firm.
Y’all are cold. But I was going to post the same thing until you beat me to it.
Let’s be honest - some of us would have stood on line for 2 weeks to give pResident Princess Blue Lips the middle finger - or worse. I sure know I would have. I still would, in fact.
I just really wonder that she got THAT close - does that happen? Is it supposed to?
The government has its own marketing firms? That’ll work out well
I certainly would have been fired.
Winning!
She’s completely free to express herself...and to be big enough about accepting the consequences of her rudeness and incivility.
Al Franken walked in front of my car while I was at a red light. My foot stayed on the brake.
Yea, it was hard to do.
Whoa, sure needs the exercise with that load.
I flipped off Obozo’s royal entourage in Hawaii, but did not post pics (from where?) or brag about it at the time.
