Woman Fired For Flipping Off Donald Trump’s Motorcade

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.

Thanks for the link to her profile and job history.

Looks like she has trouble holding a job wherever she works.

She lists her work experience as:
United States Embassy - Riga, Latvia
Community Liaison Officer · September 2007 to May 2009

and before that:

Almaty, Kazakhstan in 2001

After what the liberals put us through 2009-2017, glad to do it.

This one is corrected. I’ve been browsing another site and got that one slightly incorrect. So I asked for it to be removed (the earlier one).

That the best you got?

Been here posting since 2001 (reading since 1998).

Rebranded my handle in 2009 in dishonor of sh!theel Obama.

And your post means???

[SaveFerris]

So she sounds like an Obama/Hillary/Rice tool of sorts. Figures.

Her own words:
“He was passing by and my blood just started to boil,” she said. “I’m thinking, DACA recipients are getting kicked out. He pulled ads for open enrollment in Obamacare. Only one-third of Puerto Rico has power. I’m thinking, he’s at the damn golf course again.”

“I flipped off the motorcade a number of times,” she added.

Briskman, a Democrat, said she planned to look for a new job with an advocacy group that she believes in, like Planned Parenthood or PETA.

How in the world did she get so close to the motorcade?

[SaveFerris]

[ “I flipped off the motorcade a number of times,” she added. ]

That’s some marketing genius right there. Now she’ll do the same to the unborn if she winds up at Planned Infanticide.

[Mashood]

Now she’ll have plenty of time to ride her bicycle.

I agree with you. She was working at the time. It seems some on FR is becoming more like the people they decry every day.

[raybbr]

... not working...

[Lx]

I agree. She was on her free time. I do not like sinking to the left’s level of doxxing and destroying someone’s livelihood.

I read down-thread that she posted this on FB and identified her employer so, I would leave it up to her employer as it should be.

[Truth29]

She’s lucky this isn’t the America she likely believes it is. If it were, she would have been shot as the motorcade drove by or just been picked up, never to be seen again.

"....Some NFL players need to learn that lesson...."

Some NFL OWNERS need to learn that lesson.

Fire the kneelers or, if not that, don't play them at all. Bench them.

I’d have flipped off Obama’s motorcade. There’s zero chance the media would give me enough notoriety to get fired, so it’s a safe show of defiance.

I respect your respect for the office, but I disagree with the idea that we should hold ourselves to higher standards than the left.

Rand Paul got shot at in a baseball field and beat up in his home by radicalized leftists within the span of a few months. This is not the same left of the 90’s. They’re not getting more civilized, and they’re certainly not looking to us as behavioral role models.

IMHO, taking the high road versus a bunch of barbarians isn’t an exercise of nobility but foolishness. Our only hope of bringing them back to sanity is holding them to the exact same standards they set for themselves. They will not learn any other way.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Just another committed leftist/RAT/communist.

Expect to see her in “the news” for shooting up a bunch of Republicans in the near future, just to prolong her 15 minutes.

[MarvinStinson]

Great post.

... Just sayin ...

[Pravious]

Good.

I think what few liberals actually work should be fired, too. You wouldn’t keep a piece of machinery on an assembly line that was defective, would you? So why keep defective people? They’ve proven they do not have the capacity to think. Let’s see if they have the capacity to continue to live while living under bridges.
