"A Navistar company badge was seen inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, during the security breach. After review of the photographic evidence, the employee in question has been terminated for cause," the company wrote.

"While we support all employees' 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," the company said. 

The man, who was allegedly seen wearing the company's name badge and a "Make America Great Again" hat, was listed as a person of interest by Washington Metro Police investigating the insurrection.
