Megyn Kelly: Woman Flipping Off Trump Is.... ‘What America's All About'
2017-11-10
[Free Beacon] NBC host Megyn Kelly said the saga of a woman who flipped off President Donald Trump's motorcade spoke "uniquely to what America's all about" during an interview with her on Thursday.

A photograph of Juli Briskman flipping off Trump's motorcade last month in Virginia as she rode her bicycle went viral, particularly among people frustrated with Trump's administration. However, after she posted it to her social media accounts, she was forced to resign from her job at Akima LLC.

Briskman recounted why she decided to flip off Trump to Kelly, saying it felt "great."

Kelly noted the incident had gotten worldwide coverage.

"To me, it speaks uniquely to what America's all about. You can do that," Kelly said. "That's the beauty of a free society. Whether you love President Trump or hate him, you are allowed to tell the president how you feel about him, whether it's President Obama or President Trump. That's one of our core ideals."

#10  It's what America's all about. Just like jumping to a different channel and dissing your fans and then watching your ratings plummet. Actions have repurcussions.

#7  Dear Megyn. It is what America is about. I'm happy she "felt great." However, actions do have consequences. And as long as you think it was worth being unemployed. Yipee for you.

#4  I believe you should be able to flip off the president, or anybody else you choose.
You should also be able to post it on FB or whatever, but that's more in the way of virtue signaling than anything else.
It's when your FB post is right there next to your employer's name proudly displayed that the problem starts...

#3  It is true that her flipping off Trump is protected by the First Amendment. The government can do nothing to her. As she found out, it doesn't mean that there are no consequences.

#2  She is right, and so is it in our core for the company she works for to fire her...
