Woman who was fired for flipping off President Trump wins election in VA

[ProudModerate2]

She lost her job for flipping off President Trump. Now she's been elected to a new one.

A former government contractor in Virginia who famously gave the president's motorcade a one-finger salute won the race Tuesday for a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. Juli Briskman ran as a Democrat and defeated the eight-year Republican incumbent, Suzanne Volpe. This will be Briskman's first time in elected office.

Does she have any other qualification for the position, or is that enough now?

As opposed to well qualified presidential candidate Donald Trump?

He had his own reality show.  Not just anyone can end up with one of those.

The number of available slots for a starring role in reality tv is pretty limited, especially as the heyday for that is over.   However I expect our country to be inundated with random people flipping the bird at politicians in hopes of riding it to political stardom.  Is this what you people want?

Freedom fighter, that lady. Congrats!

They can knock themselves out for all I care.

Lost her probably much better paying job over acting like an idiot, wins an election where she had nothing else going for her except "I flipped off Trump!" a D next to her name.

lol, alrighty.

Sounds like you are describing trump, except he had an R "next to his name."

You haven't explained how having a reality TV show would qualify someone to be the most powerful person in the world.

I have to agree here. Getting elected solely over flipping off a motorcade is pretty pathetic.

I know it's cool to see it as "hell yeah, f**k Trump", but there should be some standards one have to meet in order to get elected to a public post.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Perhaps if I switch my registration to Democratic and moon Trump I'll be on the Dems VP short list.

[Brittain33]

A little Googling shows that she was active in politics before this and campaigned on specific issues.

As long as you condemn the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem you'll be ok.

It appears to be a small local position. I'm ok with such posts being filled by ordinary people with no political background. Gotta start somewhere.

"Doctor, you didn't graduate from med school, you just printed out a diploma you found online?"

"Yes, but Trump is president, so it's fine."

It's local politics. The bar was already low to non-existent in most of the country. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Trumpists don't care about facts though.

Is the headline "woman who was active in politics and campaigned on specific issues wins election in VA"?   Is that why people are excited about this ?   No.   Why do you expect "Trumpists" to care about facts that the "Resistance" doesn't even care about?

We care because she shouldn't have been fired, and the voters vindicated her stand against a wannabe dictator.

Your lips, cheeks and soul is too stained orange for that to be believable.
