Middle finger controversy[edit]
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 White House press photographer.
[6] Briskman had worked as a marketing analyst for Akima, LLC, a government contractor, for eight months until she was fired for using the viral photo as her header. She sued for wrongful termination as another employee also had "obscene content", which it was her job to flag,
[7] on his social media accounts, but was allowed to remove it. Her claim was not upheld in court because Virginia's at-will employment laws do not cover free speech. The judge granted the full severance pay she was owed.
