An assistant conductor for the Long Island Rail Road has been suspended by the MTA after allegedly attending the pro-Trump rally the day insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.
The MTA identified the man as Steven Rosati. MTA Chairman Patrick Foye spoke out against the conductor’s conduct, which included anti-COVID testing sentiments.
“What he said on social media is outrageous, despicable and the sign he’s a jackass. His conduct at the Capitol ought to be investigated, and is being investigated,” Foye said.
The LIRR conductor was identified at the rally on January 6 from pictures on Twitter. It is not clear if he joined the riot. The conductor has not been criminally charged.
