According to the New York Post, who cited sources, JPMorgan Chase reviewed the situation following the footage surfacing and a spokesperson from the bank said to the outlet, “This employee is no longer with the company.”
It was also noted by The Post’s sources that Baez was in attendance at the parade on her own behalf.
