One of the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol building Wednesday has been fired by his employer after he was identified thanks to the work identification badge he was wearing as he ransacked the building, Tre Ward of WBAL NBC-11 Baltimore reports.
The unidentified individual was photographed wearing a Trump hat and carrying some sort of flag as he walked through the Capitol with others. His work badge from Navistar Direct Marketing is plainly seen hanging from his neck. Frederick, Maryland-based Navistar Direct Marketing does direct mail campaigns for advertisers.
“While we support all employee’s [sic] right to peaceful, lawful exercise of free speech, any employee demonstrating dangerous conduct that endangers the health and safety of others will no longer have an employment opportunity at Navistar Direct Marketing,” the company said in a statement.
