Reality Leigh Winner called Trump an 'orange fascist' on Twitter before being accused of the NSA leak
Before Justice Department officials accused her of leaking classified information to an online media outlet, federal contractor and veteran Reality Winner regularly took to social media to complain about the Trump administration and post about leaks on her Twitter account.
Winner, 25, worked as a contractor with Pluribus International Corporation, where she had top security clearance and worked at a government facility in Georgia since Feb. 13.
While her social media presence dropped off significantly after that date, two days before she tweeted at President Donald Trump, calling him "orange fascist."

The former Air Force linguist, who was formally charged by the Justice Department Monday with mailing classified material to The Intercept, often posted about her criticism of President Trump and her environmental concerns on Twitter under the alias, Sara Winners. However, Winner didn't do much to conceal her identity, using a selfie as her profile picture.
Winner went by her @Reezlie Twitter handle on Instagram, where she posted light-hearted gym photos and images of food, leaving her Twitter account to serve as her political soundboard.
On her Twitter account, Winner, who followed Edward Snowden, Wikileaks, and several accounts labeled "alt" government profiles, did not appear to hold back in bashing the president.
When it became clear that Trump would likely become the next president on election night, she tweeted, "Well. People suck. #ElectionNight."
Well. People suck. #ElectionNight

She favorited a tweet from Wikileaks on Feb.15 that said U.S. intelligence was intentionally concealing information from Trump and linked to an article in the Wall Steet Journal headlined, "Spies Keep Intelligence From Donald Trump on Leak Concerns."

And roughly four months ago, Winner reportedly wrote a now-deleted Facebook post that was critical of President Trump's go-ahead for construction of two controversial pipelines: the Keystone XL and the Dakota Access.
"Repeat after me: In the United States of America, in the year 2017, access to clean, fresh, water is not a right, but a privilege based off one's socio-economic status," Winner allegedly wrote. "If that didn't feel good to say aloud, contact your senators today and tell them those exact words as to why the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines cannot be built on American soil. Let's fix the pipes meant to bring water, sans lead or pollutants, to our citizens before we build pipes meant to benefit big oil and poison the land. #NoDAPL"
