'QAnon Shaman' is 'wounded' Trump hasn't helped him
The Hill ^ | 03/04/21 09:16 AM ES | BY JOSEPH CHOI

The man known as the “QAnon Shaman,” who was seen shirtless and wearing bull horns in the U.S. Capitol during the deadly rioting on Jan. 6, said in his first interview since being jailed that he was "wounded" that former President Trump did not offer to help him.

In the interview, "60 Minutes+" reporter Laurie Segall asked Jacob Chansley if he regretted his loyalty to Trump.

"I developed a lot of sympathy for Donald Trump because it seemed like the media was picking on him and seemed like the establishment was going after him unnecessarily or unfairly, and I had been a victim of that all of my life, whether it be in school or at home. So in many ways I identify with a lot of the negative things that he was going through," Chansley said.

"I honestly believed and still believe that he cares about the Constitution, that he cares about the American people, and that's also why and you know it wounded me so deeply and why it disappointed me so greatly that I and others did not get a pardon," Chansley added.

Chansley requested a pardon shortly before Trump left office, a request that was not granted.

Shortly before his term ended, Trump issued several pardons to his supporters such as former White House strategist Stephen Bannon, though he did not issue any to the alleged Capitol rioters.

Though he remains loyal to Trump, Chansley said he regrets entering the Capitol "with every fiber of my being."

Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, also shot back at assertions that his actions were an attack on the U.S., saying that characterization was "inaccurate entirely."

“My actions on Jan. 6. How would I describe them? Well, I sang a song,” Chansley said. “I also stopped people from stealing and vandalizing that sacred space. OK, I actually stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the break room.”

“I consider myself a lover of my country. I consider myself a believer in the Constitution. I consider myself a believer in truth and our founding principles. I consider myself a believer in God,” he added.

Prosecutors allege that Chansley wielded a weapon, a spear attached to a flagpole, while inside the Capitol and left a threatening note for former Vice President Mike Pence.

Chansley was arrested less than a week after the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol breach. He has been charged with knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Chansley reportedly stopped eating after being put in prison, refusing to eat any food that wasn't organic.

A U.S. district judge granted Chansley's request after his attorney claimed he had gone nine days without eating.

Prosecutors this week argued against releasing Chansley from jail before his trial, writing in a court filing that he was a danger to the community.

"He cannot be trusted now to suddenly change course," prosecutors wrote.

Not ours. He’s a tool of the left being employed to make it look like he breached the capital to please Trump, expected Trump to protect him. That’s not how Trump rolls.

The guy protested global warming in 2019 and got a prison transfer after going on a hunger strike because the prison he was in didn’t have organic food.

Trump said in his remarks at the rally that we will be going down to the Capital. “ and I will be going with you “ He said this several times as I recall. He didn’t . I think the SS pulled the plug on that plan . But he has never brought it up again since. Cowman shouldn’t hold his breathe . The sixth should have gone on , nstionwide, for several months . But it didn’t . And now most of the fire is gone and folks are running scared....what a oity .

Another victim of the QAnon grift. The big furry didn’t harm or threaten anyone. He’s just not too bright and was taken advantage of by the Qult.

Shouldn’t Jeff Sessions save him? “Trust Sessions.”

Big Furry is only now a tool of the Left - for mockery and exploitation.

Earlier, he was a Qult member, exploited by the QAnon grifters.

Oh sheesh. Speak for yourself. What a frikkin nutcase. He ought to be in an institution. He is certainly not "mine", or anything I would want to lay claim on.

Ooops. Wait a second. He already is now in a facility.

Still doing Wray’s bidding.

He’d just a little upset that he didn’t get the big $70,000 bonus that his fellow Deep State employee and instigator, John Sullivan got.

After all, Ol’ Jacob was much more creative on his cover persona than Sullivan, so he deserves more money.
