Briskman gained notoriety in 2017 when she was photographed giving the president’s motorcade the middle finger. She told HuffPost at the time that her employer, Akima LLC, fired her because of the photo.

“They said, ‘We’re separating from you. Basically, you cannot have ‘lewd’ or ‘obscene’ things in your social media. So they were calling flipping him off ‘obscene,’” she told the news outlet at the time.

Briskman’s win was met with joy by a number of people on social media.
