A cyclist told American President Donald Trump's middle finger as he went through his escort.
The woman became famous for her gesture, even many called it “hero”. But since then, not everything has been good for the mother of two children. 50-year-old Julie Briskman has been laid off, past Albeu.com.
In an interview with Huff Post, Briskman expressed shock that someone had been able to take pictures of the moment.
On Monday she was called to the company office, where she said she violated the company's social media rules using the picture as a Facebook and Twitter profile photo.
When asked by the journalist how she thought about telling the middle of the president's finger, she replied:
I was on the side of the road and my escort started to boil. DACA beneficiaries are being expelled from the United States. He puts out ads for open records for Obamacare. Only a third of Puerto Rico has electricity. And here... looks like he's going to play golf”.
But Yuli's supporters have already undertaken a campaign to help him at some cost as unemployed.
A man named Rob Mello launched a Go Fund Me campaign to collect money for Briskman and so far has been raised about $57,000 since Monday.
Julie Brickman is an inspiration to all of us. This week we learned that she was dismissed from her employer for exercising her right”, Mello wrote on the page.
