LISTEN: As Pres Trump’s entourage entered Speaker Ryan’s office in the Capitol, someone on the other side of the Capitol rotunda yelled: “Mr. President, F—k you!!” (He entered about 15 seconds later): pic.twitter.com/KHp16LYMoF

A Congressional intern who yelled a profane greeting at President Donald Trump in the Capitol last week has been identified as an intern for Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), the lawmaker’s spokesman told The Hill on Monday.

“We are aware of the situation and have taken disciplinary action, including a one-week suspension and revoking her Congressional intern ID badge (thereby restricting her access to the Capitol), in response to her breach of office policies regarding respectful and appropriate conduct,” Aaron Jacobs, Hassan’s director of communications, told the outlet. “We also facilitated contact with Capitol Police.”

A widely circulated video showed Trump walking near the Capitol Rotunda to meet with GOP lawmakers about proposed immigration legislation last week. Right before the president walks into the frame, however, a woman can be heard screaming: “Mr. President, fuck you!”

Intern who yelled “F—k you!” to Pres Trump ID’ed as Caitlin Marriott, works for @SenatorHassan.

Per spox, “in response to her breach of office policies regarding respectful & appropriate conduct” she’s:
-Suspended 1 week
-Congressional badge revoked
-Still working in Hart office https://t.co/NAtn4Yr7u1

The woman was identified in several media accounts as 21-year-old Caitlin Marriott. Fox News reports that she’ll continue to work in Hassan’s office through August.

I'm guessing a person who feels the emotion of what trump is doing to our country enough to yell out FU.. will think it was bloody well worth it.

always to question authority and to always have a good argument behind it at the ready.

Not a doubt in my mind: cheetolini's sphincter twinged when he heard that. He closed his eyes and figured the quickest route to the limo for an escape.

I can't help but wonder if she's related to the other Mattiotts of hotel fame.
Maybe someone will fund her time off in appreciation.

If a sitting president can encourage this from a thousand people at a time
then there is nothing wrong with one individual speaking his/her mind.
