More than $30K raised for woman fired for flipping off Trump motorcade

A crowdfunding campaign for the woman who lost her job after flipping off President Trump’s motorcade has raised over $30,000.

The GoFundMe campaign, titled “Thank You Juli Briskman,” has raised more than $30,000 for the former government contractor in its first three days. 

“Juli Briskman is an inspiration to us all.  This week we learned that she was fired from her employer for exercising her first amendment rights,” the campaign reads. “You can show your support by donating here.”

Nearly 1,500 people have donated to the campaign.

Sorry that was satire, but I think her prospects are good. lagomorph777 Nov 2017 #11
That article is satire. She's received job offers, but not 400K. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #12
She is in Loudoun County, which collectively flipped off Trump on Tuesday. lagomorph777 Nov 2017 #10
Odd that someone thought she needed a GoFundMe, then. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #13
Yeah, I guess it's a nice way to express gratitude for her courage. lagomorph777 Nov 2017 #14

Julie had over 400,000 job offers from all over the country, a few days ago. I'm sure that number has grown since this article was released.

<snip>No worries. A week after giving the president the finger and finding herself out of work, Ms. Briskman has now received 453,678 job offers (and counting) from employers large and small, from every state in the union.<snip>

My county.

Loudoun is also the wealthiest county in the nation; our employment situation is very good. She will definitely find employment. Somebody will be delighted to have her.
