Where does it say in the article that massive numbers of those on the right contacted the company and threatened to boycott them unless they fired her? .. I guess so they wouldn't get anymore government contracts? lol.

Sounds like the company decided for itself that she should be fired and the opinion of those on the right had absolutely nothing to do with it.


Sounds like failed outrage by those on the left.

After being fired, this lady ended up getting elected to the Loudoun County board of Supervisors, basically turning her middle finger into an anti-trump platform.

Trumpers on the other hand...
I really do not think highly of someone's intelligence when being an adult, engages in such juvenile behavior as flipping someone off.

The point is two wrongs don't make a right.
A lot of people on the right had already lost their jobs merely for supporting Trump policies on Facebook. Not for doing an obscene gesture in public.

Proving that the people who voted for her were pretty stupid. But she was smart enough to realize that. Maybe getting fired helped her learn something.

She is just one example of the many times Trump supporters cheered when the opposition lost their jobs over opposing Trump.

Woman who gave Donald Trump the middle finger fired from her job

That's why I defend neither group fired, and fully support Employment at Will 100%.

The only one I did feel sorry for was the bike seat the flip the bird clown was sitting on. How it survived that mass on it is incredible.
