LINK Former PA State Rep. Rick Saccone Loses Teaching Job After Joining Capitol Coup | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
On Wednesday, I posted about how one of the right-wing activists who celebrated the Capitol siege was former Pennsylvania State Rep. Rick Saccone, a Christian Nationalist who spent years in the state legislature trying to pass bills promoting his faith instead of helping people. He even posted a video online bragging about how he was “storming the capitol.” ...
...It turns out that Saccone has been teaching history at Saint Vincent College for the past 21 years. After he gleefully celebrated the overthrowing of the government, the college began investigating him, and Saccone almost immediately submitted his resignation. Because it always looks better on a résumé if you quit before you get fired.
Saccone is now trying to walk his own actions back, saying he was just kidding around.
(It should be noted that the death toll from the attempted insurrection is now five... and that is no joke)

All of these fuckers should be “Waterboarded” and hanged like cattle.

Soon we'll be hearing how they are the true victims, and that the "system" is rigged against christers and wingnuts, sprinkled with a couple of jeez-I'm-sorries. JFC.
