As Twitchy reported, a bicyclist recently photographed flipping off President Trump’s motorcade as it passed her became a viral sensation online, but she also lost her job with a government contractor that wasn’t amused by all the attention her photo received.

Plenty of commenters were certain that Juli Briskman, 50, would land on her feet, and that seems to be the case. After being interviewed by HuffPost’s Jennifer Bendery earlier this week, Briskman landed in a chair opposite Megyn Kelly on “Megyn Kelly TODAY.”

Those 15 minutes are ticking by quickly.

Insanity. Glorifying an imbecile. Apt for Megyn Kelly and her continued decent into irrelevance Hopeless… https://t.co/CvysV93dzA — W.A.Dad (@grazinggoat66) November 9, 2017

Shame on you ladies. Not funny at all. https://t.co/hKjwwpZFiO — teaE? (@Teae55) November 10, 2017

Wow, really? Disrespecting POTUS is funny news? Office should always be respected. If she had done this to Obama, Megyn wouldn't laugh. https://t.co/hY5XyXMvZn — Crystal Wright (@GOPBlackChick) November 9, 2017

Why is an ornery curmudgeon who uses vulgar expression getting a spotlight? https://t.co/lmns2Bo8SO — john_dalton ️ (@_john_dalton) November 10, 2017

We don’t know. Ask the people at TIME who thought it was news that a woman broke off a date with a man after she learned he voted for Trump.

We should all respect the office of presidency, even if we hate the president himself.

Seeing Megyn Kelly descent from a respected journalist to Jerry Springer level is so sad. https://t.co/ZzOLpu0SU2 — Niam Yaraghi (@niamyaraghi) November 10, 2017

Hard hitting journalism is what you'd expect from Megyn, whose career, btw, has taken a nose-dive since crossing Trump. ?Flip away, J-Brisk! https://t.co/kKMqgheEX7 — Greg MAGA (@Gregonimo) November 10, 2017

Viral sensation? Disgusting disrespectful anti American chick. Can't call her woman! New hero of American haters. https://t.co/H6eJXWzYUS — Jon (@bickel_jonathan) November 10, 2017

David Rutz of the Washington Free Beacon has a crazy theory:

I have a crazy theory, and hear me out. If a white, middle-aged mom had flipped off President Obama's motorcade, I don't think she'd get gushing interviews on MSNBC and @MegynTODAY. I think we'd have a national conversation about decorum and respect for the presidency. — David Rutz (@DavidRutz) November 9, 2017

Remember when a rodeo clown was fired and forced into sensitivity training for wearing an Obama mask? https://t.co/pqyeZV0giY — J.R. Salzman (@jrsalzman) November 10, 2017

Times have changed.
