Pentagon hires convicted Jan. 6 rioter for sensitive counterterrorism job

The Trump administration’s appointment of Elias Irizarry, who was 19 at the time of the Capitol attack, has alarmed some in the Defense Department.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... orism-job/

In a statement, the acting Pentagon press secretary, Joel Valdez, said that Irizarry is “a qualified, patriotic young professional, and we are proud to have him as a political appointee” at the Defense Department.

“I am ashamed because I will always be a part of this disgrace,” Irizarry said at his sentencing in 2023. “January 6th represented something truly horrible; it was the largest attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

Slack-Jaw, you didn’t even read the article you posted. It literally says he’s a political appointee in a support role, not some counterterrorism commando. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor, not terrorism. And the remorse quote you’re waving around is from 2023, not from his hiring. If you’re going to try a scandal drop, at least keep the timeline straight. You crybaby liberal **** are terrible at comprehending.
