I'm so excited. I've met her a couple of times and she is a damned hard campaigner.

Yay Juli!

I posted on her Facebook page congratulating her and I have received more angry comments than just about any other post I've made. I think it is hilarious that she won and that her win has upset so many of the idiot Trumpers.

Their comments generally refer to the fact that her action was in bad taste in their opinion. Yet THEY support someone with the best of taste, right?????

I love it when they get all riled up!!!

The cyclist who flipped off President Donald Trump's motorcade in 2017, and lost her job because of it, has won her bid for local office in Virginia.

CNN projected that Juli Briskman on Tuesday night won her race to become supervisor for the Algonkian District in Loudoun County, Virginia. The win comes just over two years after a photo of Briskman flipping off the President's motorcade as it made its way back to the White House from Trump's golf course in Sterling, Virginia, went viral in October 2017. Her lawyer said she was forced to resign from her job as a marketing executive at Akima LLC over the photo.

Briskman was able to leverage her viral rebuke of Trump into Tuesday's win with a campaign that made the image central to her political message.

She announced her campaign on Twitter in September 2018 by sharing a Washington Post article titled "The cyclist who flipped off Trump's motorcade is running for public office" ...
