She should be awarded the Medal of Freedom for what she did.

Flipping the Bird is what we call here in Minnesota, "the Single Fingered Salute."

I like how the guy didn't get fired for what he did on FB this past summer. Assholes.

The picture of her on her bicycle telling Trump to fuck off is iconic, and will probably be turned into postcards, T shirts, and coffee mugs.

But if it can somehow be associated with her employer and it ends up turning into a situation which ends up causing her employer to lose business, it's a decision that has to be made, that being said, I'd hire her in a heartbeat.
