Editor’s note: The AP report that follows shows that it was well-off businessmen, longtime GOP donors, and people with money who formed the backbone of the fascist invasion of the Capitol last week. They worked hand in hand with the white supremacists and far-right militants attacking democracy that day.

WASHINGTON - A U.S. Capitol Police officer is being praised as a hero for steering a violent pro-Trump mob away from lawmakers last Wednesday according to USA Today.
Several news outlets have identified the officer as Eugene Goodman.
Goodman was stationed at the U.S. Capitol last week when an angry pro-Trump crowd breached security and stormed the building, breaking down doors and windows and ransacking several lawmakers’ offices and the Senate chamber.

Of all the trade groups that condemned the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week, perhaps most notable was one from the National Association of Manufacturers, which represents more than 14,000 employers. The organization minced no words, directly calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Donald Trump from office.
Calling the day s events despicable, North America’s Building Trades Unions President Sean McGarvey also called on Trump and the lawmakers who objected to the Electoral College certification of President-elect Joe Biden to step down.
Other industry groups such as the Associated General Contractors of America, Associated Builder and Contractors and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce also expressed strong disapproval of the day s events but stopped short of calling for the president s removal.
