This U.S. Capitol attacker is a real piece of work

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

It turns out that one of the Branch Trumpvidian terrorists who was picked up after the January 6 invasion of the Capitol, in addition to having been an Army Reservist, was a contractor working for the Navy who was quite open about his views. Timothy Hale-Cusanelli worked as a security contractor at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey. He was picked up after bragging about his involvement to an informant.

Thirty-four of his former coworkers told investigators that Hale-Cusanelli was a raging white supremacist with regular commentary on women, minorities, the disabled, and Jewish people. At one point he grew a mustache like one that his idol Hitler had, which got him some trouble with his supervisors. His phone was loaded down with racist memes.

Following his arrest, the Army administratively discharged him from the Reserve, and this Branch Trumpvidian is now persona non grata at NWS Earle.

What’s troubling is that this guy had a secret clearance and worked at a Naval facility that gave him access to a variety of weapons. This is a guy who betrayed his oath to the country and tried to help Orange Florida Man (OFM) overthrow the lawfully elected government of the United States. He needs to go to prison for a very long time. I think various government bodies should make it a priority to find and remove guys like Hale-Cusanelli from sensitive posts and law enforcement. And while being a racist cannon of douche in the OFM administration might have been a good way to get ahead, the new administration needs to make it clear that there is no room for white supremacists anywhere in our government.
