*Trump wasn’t the only one using the protests for a photo op Monday. According to Heavy.com, video went viral of a journalist in Santa Monica, California pretending to help post-riot cleanup efforts for the Gram.

The woman’s identity was confirmed by New York Times journalist Taylor Lorenz as Fiona Moriarty-McLaughlin, an intern with the Washington Examiner. Someone filmed her holding a power tool near a building destroyed by looters and posing for an Instagram photo before quickly jumping back in a car to drive away.

In the video, after posing with the construction worker, she hands him back his power tool and says, “Thank you so much” before walking away. Referring to the young man standing on the sidewalk taking her photo, she says, “Boyfriends of Instagram!”

As Moriarty-McLaughlin and her boyfriend jump back into a black Mercedes-Benz, which were parked in a red zone, she yells, “Good job, you guys! BLM!”
