Juli Briskman, a female cyclist whose “one-fingered salute” to President Donald Trump’s motorcade went viral on social media has now lost her job over the incident.
Briskman was out for a bike ride when her less than favorite president and his staffers passed by in black SUVS.
As the cars passed, Briskman flipped the motorcade off, which was caught on camera by a staffer, according to Fortune.
The photo, which went viral, was seen by Briskman’s employer Akima LLC. after she designated it as her Facebook and Twitter profile photo.
Her employers cited “lewd” and “obscene” content on Briskman’s social media pages as the reason for firing her, Briskman told the HuffPost.
Briskman lives in Virginia where companies can let workers go for any reason.
