A video went viral of a journalist in Santa Monica, California, 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. Online commenters were angry that the woman appeared to be pretending to help for the sake of a photo op.

The woman’s identity was confirmed by New York Times journalist Taylor Lorenz as Fiona Moriarty-McLaughlin, an intern with the Washington Examiner.

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. A bystander can be heard saying afterward, referring to the young man standing on the sidewalk taking her photo, “Boyfriends of Instagram!”

On Tuesday evening, New York Magazine reporter Yashar Ali tweeted that Moriarty-McLaughlin has since been fired from the Washington Examiner.

I don't see any difference in her fake volunteer work photo op and Trump's holding up a Bible.

Never ever ever trust somebody with a hyphenated last name.

90% of all white women posting the same stuff on Instagram and Facebook today are doing the exact same thing by blindly following the trend instead of actually looking at statistics.

While I have no delusion that Trump is a Christian, i have heard him quote scripture.

THOT has never touched a power tool.
