- A report lays out that far-right extremists are increasingly finding themselves fired from their jobs and virtually unemployable after their names and faces are exposed by their victims.
- The Jan 6th Capitol insurrectionists being rounded up by the FBI are finding that their future appears rather bleak, even if they manage to avoid jail time.
- Journalist Jedeed added, “From a practical perspective, I feel like being unemployable is going to push him in a more extreme direction. On the other hand, you shouldn’t be able to act like that and then have nothing happen to you.”

“According to a Washington Post deep dive into the fall-out after a pro-Trump couple from the Portland area were exposed after harassing a reporter at the Million MAGA March in Washington, D.C., last November, the report notes that far-right extremists are increasingly finding themselves fired from their jobs and virtually unemployable after their names and faces are exposed by their victims.
As the Jan 6th Capitol insurrectionists are being rounded up by the FBI with the help of the public who are being provided with videos filmed during the riot after Trump’s “Stop the Steal” speech, their future appears bleak even if they avoid jail time.
Case in point, Edward Jeremy Dawson and his wife Michelle who both lost their jobs after he harassed a journalist in DC, his identity was revealed despite wearing a mask and they were forced to keep weapons handy in their home while fearful after being harassed for their activities.
In a video (which can be seen below), Edward Dawson can be seen crowding reporter Laura Jedeed which led to him being exposed when it was posted online and eventually his firing.
According to the WaPo’s Robert Klemko, “Two days later, Dawson lost his job as an ironworker, his employer citing his actions in D.C. His wife, Michelle, uploaded a tearful self-shot video to Twitter announcing his firing, and later that month she was asked to hand in her vest and badge at a Walmart in Battle Ground, Wash., where she worked as an online-order fulfiller. She thinks she was fired over her politics but acknowledges that she had missed a substantial amount of work because of back problems…”
