Trump supporters at U.S. Capitol riot face consequences at home

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Standing amid a throng of flag-waving supporters of President Donald Trump in front of the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday, Rick Saccone decided to capture the historic moment.

The former Pennsylvania state lawmaker handed his cell phone to his wife to record his message. "We are trying to run out all the evil people and RINOs that have betrayed our president,” said Saccone, using a term to disparage moderate Republicans as Republicans In Name Only.

“We are going to run them out of their offices,” he said and posted the video to his Facebook page without giving it a second thought. The next day, he was forced to quit his job.

Saccone, 63, resigned as a political science adjunct professor at Saint Vincent College in Pennsylvania where he taught for 21 years, after the video was widely condemned.

I cannot believe that St. Vincent kept him on all those years. My husband read that Saccone was teaching a class on Global Terrorism. Talk about irony. Now the idiot claims he just made that video for fun.🙄

..... that makes them media stars to the world. Little do they know back home they advertised their terrorism and now get shunned by neighbors, friends, and employers.

They believe they are right and the rest of us are wrong. They see themselves as Patriots doing great work.
