Congressional intern who shouted 'f-k you' at Trump identified

The Capitol Hill intern who dropped an F-bomb on President Trump in the Rotunda last week was identified as working for US Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), according to reports Monday.

Caitlin Marriott, 21, will be suspended for a week and restricted to work in the Hart Senate Office Building, Fox News Channel reported.

“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,” according to a statement from Hassan’s communications director Aaron Jacobs. “We also facilitated contact with Capitol police.”

The F-bomb was dropped Tuesday in the thick of national outrage over the Trump administration’s now-former policy of separating immigrant kids from parents at the southern border.

Everyone who cares about our republic, our constitution, and the rule of law ought to be shouting "Fuck you" to Trump or "Fuck Trump" to the world.

That took some major nerve to yell, "fuck you" in the Rotunda. A sentiment I certainly share.

Hats off to you Caitlin!
