      It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.

      I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.

      EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.
