Congratulations! You survived your first coup attempt! That was stressful wasn’t it?

Now that the imminent danger is over (at least for the moment), we have the time and wherewithal to figure out who’s responsible. And there’s plenty of blame to go around (starting at the top of the executive branch and making a notable stop for a pair of senators with Ivy League J.D.s). Though the insurrection was fomented at the highest levels of government, there still has to be personal responsibility for the THOUSANDS that participated in the coup.

Police response to yesterday’s violence was anemic (though a DOJ official was quoted saying, “Just because people weren’t arrested yesterday doesn’t mean they won’t be arrested. No charges are off the table.”), but that doesn’t mean the perpetrators should suffer zero consequences. High on their own privilege, many of the domestic terrorists brazenly showed their faces as they stormed the Capitol and boasted about their exploits on social media.

Meet Paul Davis. He’s member of the Texas bar, associate general counsel and director of human resources at Goosehead Insurance, and an insurrectionist. He posted his coup exploits on Instagram where he was quickly identified.

And now he’s the former associate general counsel at Goosehead. The publicly traded company released a statement this morning that Davis is no longer employed at the company.
