Remember @julibriskman, who was fired for flipping off Trump's motorcade from her bike? She just won her first election. 🎉 https://t.co/ptpaW09kCK — shauna (@goldengateblond) November 6, 2019 Briskman was riding her bike when the Trump motorcade passed by. She decided to flip her middle finger as she rode her bicycle, which was caught on camera by the press photographer. Briskman had worked as a marketing analyst for Akima, LLC, a government contractor, for 8 months until she was fired for using the viral photo as her header.
