Activists in favor of Donald Trump who stormed and stormed the United States Capitol in Washington DC are beginning to be recognized by the companies that have hired them and experience the first consequences of their violent actions: their jobs no longer want their services and they joined the list of unemployed.
The images on social networks and on television networks that were viralized, allowed many companies to identify the violent supporters who violated the security of one of the most emblematic buildings of American democracy. Many of them belonged to corporations in various parts of the country that did not hesitate to sanction them with the expulsion of the firm.
In the center, Jake Angeli, dressed in horns and self-proclaimed Q-Shaman. To his left, an employee who has already been fired.
One of those reached by the exemplary measures was a lawyer identified as Paul Davis, who on the steps of the North American Congress shouted his intention to break into the building to interrupt the session that would certify the electoral triumph of Joe Biden as the new president of the United States. “We all try to enter the Capitol to stop this,” said the lawyer on his social networks.
Goosehead Insurance, the firm that employed him, decided to terminate him immediately. “Paul Davis, Deputy General Counsel, is no longer employed by Goosehead,” the company announced in a brief statement.
Another such company is Maryland-based Navistar. One of his workers showed up inside the Capitol with a corporate ID. He stood next to Jake Angeli, better known as Q-Shaman, the activist dressed as a native Sioux whose images traveled the world. Navistar Direct Marketing learned that a man with a company insignia was seen inside the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, during the security breach. After the review of the photographic evidence, the employee in question has been fired for good cause.

For his part, Rick Saccone, from Pennsylvania and a former representative, was also present at the doors of the Capitol. Until yesterday he was a professor at Saint Vincent College, where he stayed for 21 years. The institution decided to end its professional relationship. The decision was made by the board of directors of the university. Michael Hustava, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications noted: “As a result of an investigation, Dr. Saccone has submitted and we have accepted his letter of resignation, effective immediately. It will no longer be associated with Saint Vincent College in any capacity. ”

Taylor said in a statement: “We witnessed certain people in Washington, DC being involved in shocking and terrifying acts of violence not only against the institutions and people of our democracy. , but also against their legal processes. At Saint Vincent College, we teach the importance of the sanctity of human life, the rule of law, civil discourse, freedom of expression, and civil engagement, and we strongly condemn the extreme acts of violence and destruction that were exhibited in the capital. of our nation. We believe that all people have the right to an opinion, but when beliefs and opinions turn into illegal and violent activities, there will be no tolerance ”.
The letter from the highest authority of the educational institution continued: “We learned of a video posted by a person who had served as an associate member of the faculty here that documented his participation in the demonstration that took place. Concerned that their actions did not reflect or reflect our mission, we immediately launched an internal investigation into the matter. As a result, the individual has submitted and we have accepted their letter of resignation, effective immediately. This person will no longer be associated with Saint Vincent College. ”
But not only those who participated in the siege and assault on the US Capitol are experiencing the consequences of their actions. Also, some who have been in favor of the riots without having been in Washington DC. The Republican Party of Texas decided to expel Walter West, one of its active members, for having spoken positively about what was happening inside the congress, according to CNN.
“The Texas Republican Party in no way endorses Walter West’s statement about the anarchy that is occurring on Capitol Hill. He will be dismissed as Sergeant at Arms of the Party. While we strongly support the First Amendment right to freely assemble, we condemn the violence and pray for all who gather in our nation’s capital and on Capitol Hill. The Republican Party of Texas has always been on the side of law and order and will continue to be, “he concluded in a statement.
The attack on the Capitol
This Wednesday, dozens of activists began a siege and an assault on the Capitol that ended with very serious incidents that caused the death of five people. It was after an act in which President Donald Trump participated and in which the result of the presidential elections held on November 3 was questioned, in which Joe Biden was the winner. Later, those who had surrounded the building, he called “patriots.”
Since then, Trump has proclaimed that the election was a fraud and that the Democrat was not a legitimate winner. That caused some legislators to try to stop the certification that was about to be made in the Senate that same day that the violent riots began. Mike Pence, the incumbent vice president, resisted the pressure of his direct boss and advanced with the promulgation of the winning formula that will command the destinies of the United States as of next January 20.
For his reckless words that provoked the insurgency of hundreds of followers, American political leaders harshly questioned Trump and some even called for the application of the 25th amendment to the Constitution, by which he can be removed for incapacity. Pence, however, will not move forward with that drastic measure.
Earlier, Obama said “Trump instigated violence , this day will be remembered”. the main information fields dividing the country’s population into two. How misinformation flows affect American society  and the US Presidential Election. Former US President George Bush condemned the incursion of protesters into the Capitol Hill building.
