Karma Slams Woman Who Gave President the ‘Bird’
Last week, a woman riding her bicycle by a presidential motorcade decided to give President Trump a piece of her mind via her middle finger. The incident was captured by a traveling White House press corps photographer and caught virality on the internet. Now Juli Briskman, who flipped Trump the bird, has learned Karma’s a bitch. The Huffington Post reports the 50-year old middle-finger-flipping mother of two who worked for Akima, a government contractor in Virginia, has lost her job.
As the photo circulated online, Briskman decided to tell Akima’s HR department what was happening when she went to came on Monday. On Tuesday, her supervisors called her into a meeting and advised her she had violated the company’s social media policy by using the photo as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook. “They said, ‘We’re separating from you,’” Briskman reported. “Basically, you cannot have ‘lewd’ or ‘obscene’ things in your social media. So they were calling flipping him off ‘obscene.’”
Here’s how she described the incident to the Huffington Post: “He was passing by and my blood just started to boil,” she asserted. “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 later told the Huffy Post she will be looking for a job with a group that she believes in such as Planned Parenthood or PETA.
Good luck as she looks for a new job. We just hope she decides to set a better example for her children in the future.
