Stormed the Capitol with his company badge on. Identified, and fired.
You literally cannot make this shit up.

Most of these idiots posted selfies and livestreamed. One has been identified as a state lawmaker from West Virginia who live streamed and pretty much incriminated himself.
So much for the claims that these people were all with antifa.

Elaine Chao just resigned.
Also here's a potentially NSFW list of people who should be shitting bricks right now. From the DC police - Persons of Interest direct link PDF file
If you recognize anyone from those pictures please call the tip line.
Every one of those scumbags was at one location and they knew where they were at and they just let them walk.
Anyone that went into the capital unauthorized should have been strip searched on the spot, belongings seized and arrested.

Oh and that article in the Washington Times, that Matt Gaetz cited, about a facial recognition system identifying known Antifa in the crowd? They've retracted it.
