As the plans for Biden's presidency begin to unfold, tensions amongst the pro-Trump community have escalated.

While it's taken weeks for the president himself to concede to Biden...

His supporters have been fueling the flames behind his various election fraud allegations.

And on Wednesday, those tensions reached a breaking point.

On January 6th, during which a joint session of Congress convened to formally count the Electoral College votes and certify Joe Biden’s election win, lawmakers were forced to shelter in place and evacuate as pro-Trump rioters broke into the U.S Capitol Building.

Hundreds of rioters forced their way into the prestigious building...

Breaking windows, doors, and furniture along with chants of "stop the steal!"

The rioters took over several of the rooms and chambers in the building...

And photos showing them looting objects, such as the lectern of U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, quickly started circulating online.

A group of rioters even broke into Pelosi's office...

With one posing in her chair with his feet up on the desk.

From this, more violence ensued...

As rioters clashed with the few police officers in presence.

The scenes shocked people all over the globe...

And the world watched on, transfixed, as more and more rioters continued to spill into the Capitol and clash with police.

Shortly afterward, it was confirmed that there had been fatalities within the Capitol.

Chief Robert Contee III of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, confirmed the news during a press conference.

It quickly emerged that one female rioter had been shot dead by police...

However, details surrounding the other 3 fatalities remain unclear. "One adult female and 2 adult males appear to have suffered from separate medical emergencies on or around Capitol grounds," Contee said, "which resulted in their deaths."

From the get-go, there were calls for Trump to intervene.

The president was repeatedly urged to appear on national television to order his supporters to stand down.

He instead issued a series of tweets...

Where he reminded the rioters that the police and law enforcement was "on our side," and to "remain peaceful."

Hours after his supporters had stormed the Capitol, however, Trump finally released a video telling them:

"Go home, we love you, you’re very special."

But it seems one photo in particular from the siege has drawn in attention, for a very specific reason.

A man who could be seen protesting inside the Capitol building on Wednesday has been fired from his job, according to VT. 

The man was spotted by his employer donning his work ID badge in the images...

And, shortly after Maryland-based printing company Navistar Direct Marketing officially announced it's decision to fire him.

Navistar Direct Marketing said in a statement that it had been made aware that a man who was wearing a Navistar badge was spotted in photographs inside the Capitol building.

After reviewing the photos, the employee - whose name has not been made public - was fired.

"Navistar Direct Marketing was made aware that a man wearing a Navistar company badge was seen inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 during the security breach," the company wrote in a statement.

"After review of the photographic evidence the employee in question has been terminated for cause."

The statement continued:

"While we support all employee’s 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 with Navistar Direct Marketing."

A company spokesperson told Forbes that Navistar has since contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the former employee.

The publication also reports that police identified him on Thursday morning as a person of interest in the unlawful entry into the Capitol building.

A handful more protesters have been fired.

Following the riots, news emerged that Texan attorney Paul Davis lost his job at Goosehead Insurance.

They revealed the news on Twitter:

Paul Davis, Associate General Counsel, is no longer employed by Goosehead.

Then news emerged that Pennsylvania state representative Rick Saccone resigned after his employer, Saint Vincent College, launched an investigation.

Michael Hustava, Saint Vincent's Senior Director of Marketing and Communications, told CNN:

As a result of that investigation, Dr. Saccone has submitted and we have accepted his letter of resignation, effective immediately. He will no longer be associated with Saint Vincent College in any capacity.

Well then.

Numerous protesters have been arrested too.

Including the horned hat-wearing rioter, who became the poster boy of the entire incident, has been arrested and charged.

The FBI got in touch with him.

Jake Angeli, whose real name is Jacob Anthony Chansley, was contacted by the FBI before surrendering and handing himself in.

Angeli was charged.

He was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

And now another story is making the rounds online.

And it's the story of a daughter who outed her mother as part of a group who confronted a Black woman in DC after spotting her in a video.

18-year-old Helena Duke explained that it was out of character for her mom to shut off her location earlier this week on a phone-tracking app that they share.

And Helena had a feeling she'd gone to DC - as her mom was a massive Trump supporter.

And then she saw the video...

Which featured her mom, her aunt Annie Lorenz, and her uncle Richard Lorenz, confronting a black woman they claim punched Therese... She outed her mom in a viral tweet, claiming that her mother told her not to attend a BLM protest as they could turn violent.
