Her swearing-in ceremony in San Francisco yesterday has people talking, in part because of this her use of profanity. She said "f**k Trump," and made the gesture to go with it.

Today, for the first time, Ma explained her spur of the moment comment to ABC7 news anchor Kristen Sze.

She said, "It was because of his tweet threatening to withhold FEMA funds from California because of our wildfires and second because of the 19 days that we've been on federal furlough. President Trump has used saltier language than I used yesterday. So I do not apologize for that."
