Woman Who Flipped Off Trump Has Now Raised $120K+

Juli Briskman made headlines recently after getting fired when a photo of her flipping off President Trump's motorcade in Northern Virginia went viral. Now, the GoFundMe campaign for her continues to swell, and has surpassed $120,000 as of Monday morning.

It was at $76,620 from more than 3,000 donors last Tuesday morning, and it now stands at $122,291, meaning more than 2,000 more people have added an additional $46K to the fund.

Juli Briskman herself responded Sunday night to the outpouring of support on the campaign's website.

"I am working my way through messages still!" she said. "I am so encouraged and honored by each one. Thank you all so much for every single donation. Good things to come! I feel it."

In an earlier update, she said that being fired caused her to worry about her and her family's future.

"Through your very generous donations, many of those heavy burdens have been lifted," she wrote. "I am not sure what the future holds, but I am buoyed by your support. For now, I can just say THANK YOU and promise to be a good steward of these funds."

The organizer, Rob Mello, wrote on the page that he has connected with Briskman and the campaign has "officially" set her up as the beneficiary.

Briskman was fired by government contracting firm Akima LLC under the company's social media policy, but she wasn't wearing anything associated with the company nor did she identify herself as the individual on her social media accounts. Also, she supposedly found a public comment by a senior director at the company in a Facebook discussion on Black Lives Matter where he says: "You’re a f------ Libtard a------," the Post reported.

The pool report documenting the incident noted that as the motorcade departed the golf club at 3:12 p.m. on Oct. 28, it first passed two pedestrians, one of whom gave a thumbs-down sign. The motorcade then overtook the female cyclist who responded by giving the middle finger. The cyclist caught up with the motorcade, which had slowed down, and once again offered the finger before she turned off in a different direction.

Even when Trump arrived at the golf club earlier in the day, he was met by a lone protester who stood at the entrance of golf course with a sign that said "Impeach." There is even photographic proof showing both the woman on the bike and the lone protester who crossed paths with the president on Saturday.

Trump, who routinely criticized his predecessor, President Obama, for spending too much of his time in office on the links, has spent more time golfing than Obama, according to Politifact. As of Oct. 10, NBC News, which is tracking Trump's visits to his properties, found that Trump has visited Trump golf properties on 76 of his 282 days in office.
