The woman who flashed her middle finger (since seen 'round the word) at Donald Trump was sacked from her job at a US government contractor.

"I'd do it again," Juli Briskman said to the Washington Post.  She wasn't planning on making a political statement as she was cycling in northern Virginia last month.  But the presidential motorcade went blasting by bringing Trump to one of his regular long weekends, and she started to think about the children of immigrants being deported.

"He was passing by and my blood just started to boil," the 50-year old told The Huffington Post.  "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," she said, adding:  "I flipped off the motorcade a number of times."

Juli Briskman Flips Off The Orange Clown

A member of the media caught the incident on camera and it quickly went viral.  I mean, who wouldn't love to flip the bird at Trump?  Social media loved Juli Briskman, and declared her a hero, or a "she-ro".  She was even the subject of a hashtag, "#her2020", touting her as an opponent of the orange clown in the 2020 election.

She warned her employer, government contractor Akima LLC, that she was the woman in the photo racing around the globe.  But company officials whisked her into a private conference room with unexpected news.

"They said, 'We're separating from you'," Ms. Briskman recalled.  "Basically, you cannot have 'lewd' or 'obscene' things in your social media.  So they were calling flipping him off 'obscene'."

"I wasn't even at work when I did that," Briskman added.  "But they told me I violated the code-of-conduct policy," even though there was nothing in the photo that indicated where she worked.

But Briskman says Akima applies its standards rather unevenly.  She was in charge of the company's social-media presence, and caught a senior director using juvenile and belligerent language in an otherwise civil discussion about the Black Lives Matter movement.

"You're a f_____g Libtard a_____e," the middle-aged white male director said.  And his social media profile clearly identified him as an employee of Akima LLC.

Briskman has contacted the American Civil Liberties Union about her case, but the First Amendment of the US Constitution only goes so far.  It protects speech from the government, but not from exploiters or employers.

"You can say whatever you want," said attorney Bradley Shear, who specializes in social media issues.  "You might not get jailed for what you say, but you might not get the job you want."
