Convicted Capitol Rioter Hired at Pentagon
Description
A convicted January 6 Capitol rioter has landed a job at the Pentagon—Elias Irizarry, who broke into the Capitol at 19 with a metal pole and took photos, is now working in a high-level defense policy office. Despite serving two weeks in jail and expressing remorse, the Pentagon calls him a “qualified, patriotic young professional.” The move has sparked controversy, with Senator Mark Warner questioning his placement in a sensitive role, echoing past cases like Jared Wise’s Justice Department hire that ended in resignation.
