Navistar, a direct marketing company in Maryland, announced that an employee had been fired after being photographed with his corporate ID badge in the broken Capitol.
A Texas attorney named Paul Davis is no longer with his company, Goosehead Insurance, after social media posts showed him talking about his participation in Wednesday’s events. In one video, Davis says, “We’re all trying to get into the Capitol to stop this.”
In other posts on Facebook’s Stories feature, Davis said he was “demonstrating peacefully” all the time and not actively trying to break into the Capitol. I said ‘try to get into the Capitol’, with which I wanted to make a protest. Not in a violent way, ”he wrote.
CNN reached out to Goosehead for further comment and was directed to a voicemail stating, “The Goosehead employee involved with the Capitol is no longer employed.”
It is not clear whether Davis has left the company or has ended. CNN contacted Davis but received no response.
“As a result of that investigation, Dr. Saccone has submitted and we have accepted his letter of resignation with immediate effect. He will no longer be affiliated with Saint Vincent College in any capacity,” Hustava said in a statement to CNN.
CNN has contacted Saccone for further comment.
Lindsey Williams, a Pennsylvania state senator, shared a video that appeared to have been removed from Saccone’s Facebook page. In it, Saccone says, “They broke down the gates, they knocked them up there. We’re trying to kill all the bad people in there and all the RINOs who betrayed our president. To chase them out of their offices.”
Americans in positions of power are also being punished for supporting the violence, even if they weren’t in the Capitol. The Texas Republican Party removed Walter West, his Sergeant-At-Arms, from his position after West made comments on Facebook about the siege of the Capitol.
In a statement, West said his Facebook posts were “misinterpreted” and would never “advocate violence against” The People’s House. “
West’s name and photo are not on the Texas GOP leaders list.
