Now the QAnon Soy Shaman wants to run for Congress. |
About 80% of these rioters are not sorry about storming the U.S. Capitol. They took plea deals to prevent lengthy bids in the iron college. They used their white privilege and crocodile tears to convince a federal judge that they were "sorry" for their actions.
Soon as they got out of the iron college for taking less than year or even a day in, it's back to being the unrepentant assholes who were indoctrinated by Washed Up 45.
Brandon Straka, the founder of the far right group, #WalkAway was the first of many unrepentant assholes to dismiss his guilt. He tearfully plead guilty for his actions and told the judge he would show repentance.
He so far is trying to make a profit off it. He is hoping that Washed Up 45 returning to power would give him a pardon and commute of his sentence.
He is an openly gay far right extremist who paraded himself in prison garb at CPAC. He ended up posing with the most insufferable herself, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
The Dallas area realtor, Jenna Ryan flew on a private flight and participated in the unlawful entry. She was going to get two years for that. But she plead guilty and awaited a sentence. The judge found out her social media and saw through her phony apology. Ryan ended up getting 60 days. Since her release, Ryan continues to promote conspiracy theories and denounced her sentence.
Now here comes Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, Q Shaman or the Yellowstone Wolf.
Chansley is the 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.
Chansley pleaded guilty to a single count of obstructing an official proceeding on September 3, 2021, and agreed to accept the prosecution's recommended sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison as part of the settlement. Earlier, his lawyer said Chansley broke away from QAnon and asked that it no longer be used in terms for him. Judge Lamberth turned down a request for release (Chansley wanted to visit his grandfather while Watkins wanted to provide him with shelter and care for his mental health) on the grounds that there was no convincing evidence that there would not be any risk of escape.
Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison on November 17. He served his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona, with an original release date of May 25, 2024. On March 30, 2023, attorney Albert Watkins announced Chansley had just been released from prison 14 months early and moved to a halfway house.In November 2021, Chansley told the court, "Men of honor admit when they're wrong. Not just publicly but to themselves. I was wrong for entering the Capitol. I have no excuse. No excuse whatsoever. The behavior is indefensible."
It appears he retracted his statement of guilt. He is now considering a run for Congress and is working on a book to explain why he felt it was a moment in history.
Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) is retiring and it is a seat that Republicans feel confident they'll keep in their column regardless.
He isn't the only extremist running. Trent Franks is climbing out of his hole after a sex scandal. Blake Masters is also running after changing his mind on running for Senate.
Unrepeatable assholes who will cause more chaos. The next round of insufferable lawmakers.
