Washington DC, just when you thought the events at the US Capitol could not get any crazier and because he has become both a symbol for lawbreaking and the abject failure of Capitol Hill security we bring you the man known as ‘QAnon Shaman’ . He donned fur, horns and red, white and blue face paint while storming the US Capitol and is now requesting a presidential pardon .
His real name is Jacob Anthony Chansley, who also goes by the name “QAnon Shaman”, turned himself into authorities on Saturday after he traveled to Washington, D.C., at Trump’s call for “patriots” to take a stand against the election results.
His attorney Albert Watkins is now making a plea for a pardon, stating that Chansley was not involved in Wednesday’s violence and surrendered peacefully.
“My client had heard the oft-repeated words of President Trump,” Watkins said, according to local CBS station KMOV4. “The words and invitation of a president are supposed to mean something. Given the peaceful and compliant fashion in which Mr. Chansley comported himself, it would be appropriate and honorable for the president to pardon Mr. Chansley and other like-minded, peaceful individuals who accepted the president’s invitation with honorable intentions.”
Chansley is currently facing charges including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
In the days following the riot, Chansley told NBC News that he did not see anything wrong with his actions.
The fact that we had a bunch of our traitors in office hunker down, put on their gas masks and retreat into their underground bunker, I consider that a win,” he said, referring to the lawmakers inside the building who had to take shelter.
Earlier this week, Chansley a man of principles reportedly refused to eat food given to him while in custody because it was not organic.
Put him in the pokey.

Lockup the lot of them for the 10 years trump executive ordered for damage of federal property. Examples must be made of every last person who stepped foot in that building that day and put our nations security at risk.
The building is still occupied by people that are a threat to the future of this Country.
Exactly, we will all suffer in the future especially our kids who the hell you think is going to pay for the stimulus. They are just printing money. Speaker Pelosi was dirty from the gecko day one. In the story. She did not do her job she had no respect. It doesn’t matter who is in charge, she was disrespectful. Like it or not that’s the truth.
So many lies are coming. You will say, we will all experience the lies.
Exactly like Soviet Russia.
News is Pravda
Courts are rigged.
Elections are corrupt.
Opposing voices are silenced.
That Ass needs to go fashion prison
And stop with his bullshit
Guy will probably get a tv cable show
On fox
He just needs to come out as a transgender, illegal alien, Islamic, African American
… and everything will be OK.
Did he actually break any law?
Why yes, he did.
Albeit nothing as egregious as stepping off a curb during a protest march, but yes.
