"Jacob Chansley, more commonly known as the QAnon Shaman, was a guest of Glendale Republican Anthony Kern at the Arizona Capitol this week, allowing Chansley access to areas where the public is generally prohibited. |
| |
|
Chansley is known for being one of the most recognizable members of the crowd that breached the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 while wearing a horned hat, face paint and no shirt. His actions that day led to a 41-month prison sentence, a portion of which he served at the Federal Correctional Institute in Safford. He was released early in March to a half-way house, and returned to his home in the Valley on probation in May 2023. Chansley sought to vacate the ruling, citing dubious reporting by former Fox anchor Tucker Carlson. |
| |
|
On Feb. 20, Kern introduced Chansley and others as his guests at the Arizona Senate. Kern himself is tied to the events of Jan. 6 as he was photographed in areas of the Capitol that rioters breached. Kern has stated on multiple occasions that he never entered the Capitol itself. Other senators, like Goodyear Republican Janae Shamp, were also present that day." |

"Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley (born 1988), also known under the name Jake Angeli, and as the QAnon Shaman, Q Shaman, and Yellowstone Wolf, is an American alt-right conspiracy theorist and activist who participated in the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol, for which he was convicted of felony charges of obstructing an official proceeding. He has been a supporter of President Donald Trump and a believer and disseminator of the QAnon conspiracy theory. |

Chansley attended demonstrations in the Phoenix, Arizona, area starting around 2019, in particular in a march for climate. At rallies, he promoted conspiracy theories supporting Trump, and he has been a counterprotestor at Black Lives Matter events. His appearance, with face paint utilizing the colors and symbols of the American flag and a headdress made of animal fur, helped to establish his shaman nicknames. |
|
| |
|
|
After being photographed taking part in the January 6 storming of the Capitol, Chansley was arrested on January 9 on federal charges of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds". He pleaded guilty to a single charge in September, and was sentenced to 41 months (3.4 yr) in prison in November 2021. He served out a portion of his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona, and was transferred to a halfway house on March 28, 2023, from which he was released on May 25, 2023." |

Jacob
Chansley,
Self-Styled
'QAnon
Shaman,' To
Stay In Jail
Pending
Trial |
|
A federal
judge ruled
Monday that
the man
often called
the "QAnon
Shaman" must
remain in
jail pending
his trial
for his role
in the Jan.
6 siege of
the U.S.
Capitol
because he
remains a
threat to
the public.
Judge Royce
Lamberth
said in his
order
rejecting Jacob
Chansley's
request for
release that
"no
condition or
combination
of
conditions"
would ensure
Chansley's
return to
court if he
were
released.
Lamberth
said
Chansley
believes his
actions
during the
siege of the
Capitol, an
attack in
which five
people died,
were
peaceful.
That
mindset,
Lamberth
wrote, shows
"a
detachment
from
reality." |

Rioters
Planned To

Lawmakers,

Say |

"Members of
a pro-Trump
mob planned
to capture
and kill
elected
officials
during a
siege of the
Capitol last
week,
including a
self-described
QAnon Shaman
who left a
menacing
note for
Vice
President
Mike Pence,
federal
prosecutors
said.
Prosecutors
said Jacob
Chansley incited
fellow
rioters
inside the
Capitol
building and
disobeyed
police
orders.
Shortly
after Mr.
Pence was
hustled out
of the
Senate
Chambers,
Mr. Chansley
entered the
room,
climbed to
Mr. Pence’s
dais and
posed for
photographs
in a coyote
tail
headdress,
armed with a
six-foot
spear and a
bullhorn,
prosecutors
said.
According to
prosecutors, Mr.
Chansley, 33
years old,
also left a
note for Mr.
Pence: “it’s
only a
matter of
time,
justice is
coming.”" |

'QAnon
Shaman'
Jacob
Chansley,
Who Was
Arrested
After
Storming The
Capitol In A
Fur
Headdress
And Horns,
Has Been
Denied Bail |
|
"A federal
district
judge in
Arizona
denied bail
to Jacob
Chansley on
Friday,
saying she
had "no
confidence"
that he
would follow
court orders
to
voluntarily
appear for
trial. "This
is not a
protest,
this is a
riot, this
is an
insurrection,"
the judge
said of the
events at
the Capitol
on January
6, saying
that the
context
surrounding
Chansley's
alleged
conduct was
an important
backdrop to
her decision
not to
release
Chansley
ahead of his
trial
because he
was a
"symbol of
what
occurred."
She said
Chansley
appeared to
have
"righteously
believed"
that he had
done nothing
wrong and
that he had
plans to
return to
the US
Capitol for
President-elect
Joseph
Biden's
inauguration." |
