We’ve done a lot of great interviews on the podcast, but this was one of my favorite. Juli Briskman was made famous for getting fired when she flipped off Trump in 2017 as he went to play golf. I remember thinking that I love this person with all my heart. 😂
But Juli didn’t just stop there, she took revenge and ran for office and is now Supervisor for her district in VA. She has no fucks for anyone, but is intelligent, funny, and good as hell at her job, despite having little experience in politics.
In Hellscape, I discussed how fear is used as a weapon of fascism and how to avoid being terrorized by it.
Please watch and share. Details below.
We are thrilled to have a discussion with Juli Briskman, who famously was out riding her bike when a photographer for Agence France Press captured her flipping the bird to Trump’s motorcade.
Juli Briskman is an American politician, marketing analyst, and journalist. She is supervisor for the Algonkian District of Loudoun County, Virginia.
Briskman garnered international attention for flipping off then-President Donald Trump in Sterling, Virginia, as he returned from a golfing trip in 2017. She once again received international attention when she was elected to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in 2019.

Juli was inspirational, she’s got that Katie Porter vibe. Jim is spot on with what he said about her 1A rights.
