IT appears that personal hygiene was high on the agenda of the rioters in Washington D.C. last week - along with their attempts to influence the outcome of the US election.
Smashed windows, ransacked offices and abandoned flags weren't the only things they left behind: some of the pro-Trump supporters who forced their way into the Capitol apparently also brought along some deodorant - because unseating a government is sweaty work.
The B.O. buster was revealed in a tweet by a Washington Post reporter in the aftermath of the invasion on 06 Jan.
"Left by the mob: a lonely can of AXE body spray," was the caption posted by Mike DeBonis, along with a photo of the antiperspirant among some of the debris (pictured).
Quick to distance itself from the incident, the official AXE Twitter account came back with: "We'd rather be lonely than with that mob. AXE condemns yesterday's acts of violence and hate at the Capitol...we believe in the democratic process and the peaceful transition of power."
Others also weighed in, with one commenter noting "AXE body spray is taking a stronger stance on American democracy than are many Republican members of Congress".
