SACRAMENTO, Calif. A Sacramento man has resigned from his positions in the California Republican Assembly (CRA), a Republican volunteer organization, after it was learned he participated in the violent, pro-Trump siege on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6.
Jorge Riley served as Corresponding Secretary for the State Board of the California Republican Assembly and President of the Sacramento Chapter, the CRA confirmed. On Thursday, Riley resigned from both positions after photos and video posted on his personal Facebook page showed him actively participating in the raid.
In a video posted on Reddit, Riley is answering questions outside the U.S. Capitol building, which he had reportedly stormed just moments prior.
"We breached over there I think. We broke windows. We went into the door. We pushed our way in," Riley said in the Reddit video.

(61,033 posts)force your way thru doors and into the nation's Capitol then vandalize it, search for captives then brag about it in postings online, apparently with no anticipation or awareness of possible consequences? Is that crazy or what? Insane? White privilege? Hubris, or just plain stupid?
