Georgia Man Fired From Job After Live-streaming Himself at Capitol Attack

A car salesman based in Georgia has lost his job after he recorded himself taking part in the attack on the Capitol building last week.

Dominic Box, of Savannah, was fired from Vaden Nissan on Friday after he posted online videos of himself participating in the pro-Donald Trump protests supporting his baseless claims of election fraud, The Current first reported.

Vaden Nissan manager Mike McCann did not confirm the reason for his termination, but The Current reports Nissan's corporate office and Vaden Nissan received several complaints about Box's appearance at the apparent insurrection attempt in which five people died, including a police officer.

Box is also known to be a prominent advocate of the QAnon conspiracy theory, whose followers joined Trump supporters and far-right extremists in the attack on Congress on January 6.

"Civilians are trying to break into Congress, that's what they're saying, we need to get up there," Box can be heard in one video streamed from the Facebook account of the Savannah Freedom Exchange.

Box is then seen increasing his pace as he heads towards Congress.

"I don't know what you can do to stop a crowd this size with one thing on their mind," he adds. "After hearing the president speak [and] specify the numbers and the ways in which this election was stolen from us, I can definitely say I'd rather be on this side than the other. There's some very, rightfully, disgruntled individuals here."

Another Facebook Live video apparently streamed from Box's account appears to show that he had made it inside the Capitol building.

"Vaden Automotive has separated from Dominic Box. We are no longer affiliated with him in any way and we are not at liberty to discuss employment matters," the company said in a statement to WSAV.

The Savannah Freedom Exchange has been contacted in an attempt to reach Box for comment.

In August 2020, Box organized a rally to raise awareness for missing and exploited children in Savannah. The demonstration was attended by dozens of people, including those waving flags and banners with QAnon symbols and slogans.

"Human trafficking exists, it's a problem, and it's happening right here in Savannah, Georgia," Box WSAV told at the time.

"Being in Savannah, being in one of the largest port communities in the country, we feel it's not only our duty but our obligation to get the message out, to take over what we can in our own lives."

Box is one of a number of people who have been fired after they were seen taking part in the attack in the Capitol last week, with many others also facing criminal charges.
