Washington: A woman who was caught showing her finger as the motorcade of US President Donald Trump was passing by had to lose her job for her ‘lewd’ act, it is reported.
The woman, Juli Briskman was cycling on a road near the Trump National golf club on October 28 when Trump’s convoy happened to cross by her before stopping at a red light. Briskman who doesn’t harbor good feelings for Trump evidently, caught up with the convoy and showed her finger at it to express her feelings.
The act was captured by White House photographer Brendan Smialowski, who was riding in Trump’s convoy, and the picture soon went viral. Notably it was only Briskman’s back that was captured in the photo. On realizing that it was her pic that was going viral over the media, Briskman without thinking twice posted it as her profile picture on Facebook and Twitter pages, an act that didn’t go well with her bosses Akima LLC, a builder that does work for the US government and military.
Three days following the incident Briskman was told that she had been sacked citing that you cannot have ‘lewd’ or ‘obscene’ things in your social media.
Though Briskman and Akima were unavailable for comments the photograph reportedly remained at the top of her social media pages.
