Bogie56 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 'I was duped by Trump!' QAnon Shaman 'regrets' Capitol invasion as his lawyer says ex-president's failure to issue a pardon was a 'betrayal' by the man who 'led him down the primrose path' - so how many more rioters will claim the same? Jacob Anthony Chansley, 33, is being held without bail on federal charges, and on Thursday his attorney spoke out to say that he blames Trump for leading him down the 'primrose path'. 'He regrets very very much having not just been duped by the President, but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made,' attorney Al Watkins said. Chansley, who also goes by Jake Angeli, gained infamy during the riot for his striking appearance in a horned helmet and furs in the Senate Chamber, and later drew mockery for a hunger strike behind bars to insist he be fed all-organic food. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

When that doesn't work, he lures his supporters to DC on the day of the Electoral College certification in the House of Representatives. Then, in a hot rally, he incites them to go to the Capitol and stop the Congressional certification of the Electoral College vote. Well, we all know how that turned out.🤕👹👿😱💀 Next, in a last-ditch effort to keep Biden out of the Oval Office after he's already been sworn in-- trump has the door locked and has fired the the federal employee, the head usher, who was supposed to open it. For somebody who really didn't want to work at the job of being president, It's surprising how hard trump connived and plotted to keep the job.🤑 1 Link to post Share on other sites
