Juli
Briskman, the cyclist who raised her middle finger as a motorcade with
US President Donald Trump passes -- and was fired for it
An
American cyclist has been fired from her job after she reportedly
insulted Donald Trump, however something truly amazing has happened
after that.
It has been revealed that more than $70,000 in donations have
poured into a crowdfunding site set up for the cyclist who was fired
from her job for making a rude gesture to President Donald Trump’s
motorcade.
The Independent reports that more than 3,000 donations — from $5 to
$250 — have rolled in since November 6, when the GoFundMe campaign was
set up on behalf of Juli Briskman.
Briskman’s raised middle finger was caught by news photographers as
Trump’s motorcade passed her on October 28 as he left Trump National
Golf Course in Sterling, Virginia. The image immediately went viral.
Three days later, the 50-year-old marketing executive was fired by her company, government contractor Akima.
“Thank you, Juli Briskman,” wrote Rob Mello, who set up the GoFundMe account, calling her “an inspiration to us all.”
All the money raised goes directly to Briskman, he says on the site.
