The chief executive of a marketing firm near Chicago was terminated after being part of the mob that broke into the U.S. Capitol this week.

“Cogensia condemns what occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, and we intend to continue to embrace the values of integrity, diversity and transparency in our business operations, and expect all employees to embrace those values as well,” the company said in a statement Friday.
