WASHINGTON ― You may have seen this photo of President Donald Trump’s motorcade winding down a wooded road last week as a woman on a bicycle appeared to give it the bird.
The picture, snapped by a White House photographer traveling with the president as he left his golf course in Sterling, Va., went viral almost immediately. News outlets picked up the story when it appeared in a White House pool report. Late-night talk show hosts told jokes about the encounter and people on social media began hailing the unidentified woman as a “she-ro,” using the hashtag #Her2020.
The bicyclist’s name is Juli Briskman and her employer ― government contractor Akima LLC ― wasn’t so happy about the photo. In fact, Akima fired her over it.

Certainly not too bright of a “Marketing Specialist” or whatever.
Trashy mom.
Or do what I do and don't put your employer on your Facebook site. And also follow my words to live by: think twice before speaking, three times before Tweeting, and four times before posting. Always.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
What happened was she used the photo, on social media. Twitter and Facebook. From the linked article.
THAT is apparently what got her fired.
Exactly.
Never put anything online that you would not want published in Breitbart or the New York Times.
“I didn’t think that photo was enough to cost her the job.”
If she worked for K-Mart, maybe. I believe she works for a government contractor, though, so she gets her paycheck, ultimately, from government. Displays like that could threaten her employer’s future contracts, profits, etc.
My husband worked for Federal contractors his entire career. Doing this would’ve impacted his job.
Nuff said.
Delayed proper responses can sometimes be excessive. You quietly put up with being poked in the chest a bunch of times, then finally respond — usually harsher than a first response. I’ll wager she’s been a tolerated thorn in that company’s side for a while. We all know the type.

...As the weeks passed, media reports began to suggest that Trump was actually avoiding Shealah Craighead, his new photographer, as many pictures posted to social media by the White House were taken by other members of staff. And after day 50 of the presidency, when Craighead released her first real set of photos, photography websites declared her a rigid, boring photographer, unable or willing to take candid or unguarded photos of the president.
But critics really had little to assess, with Craighead and her staff releasing far fewer photos to the White House Flickr account or other social media than her predecessor, Pete Souza, who had photographed two administrations and been granted extraordinary access to Barack Obama. (Since leaving his position, Souza had kept posting photos of the former president, often in an attempt to show Obama in a better light than Trump)...
... In a second conversation, she also answered criticisms about her lack of access. This conversation has been edited and condensed slightly for length and clarity.
...she planned to look for a new job with an advocacy group that she believes in, like Planned Parenthood or PETA...
She can get a job with Antifa making black masks and billy clubs.
Had I been walking down a wooded road and a motorcade who I assumed was Obama’s drove by......at a minimum a bird would have flew out of my hand.
Didn’t someone get a love letter from the IRS for flipping off Slick Willy some years back?
Stunned?
In a world where there is a camera in every hand, every vehicle, every public space and business and on every street corner?
She wasn't too stunned to stop her from grabbing the photo and using it on her Facebook site.

How does her employer know that ass ?
No kidding. My first thought was ...
How is she going to get that bicycle seat out???
