uli Briskman, 50, was cycling through Sterling, Virginia, last month when she was passed by the president, en route to his golf course. When the motorcade passed, she had no idea her one-fingered salute had been captured by photographer Brendan Smialowski, working for Agence France-Presse and Getty Images.

The image quickly went viral.

“I said, ‘Yeah, that’s me. Isn’t it funny?’ ” she said, when her friends asked if it was her.

She posted it as her Facebook cover photo and her Twitter profile picture. However, the owner of the yoga studio where she worked part-time asked her to remove the image, and she began receiving emailed threats.

She told her bosses at Akima, a government contractor, that she was the woman in the photo. Click here to see read more
