Video of Jacob Chansley reading Trump’s tweet telling protestors to GO HOME

Poor ziggy the dumb goy

CLAIM: Footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol shows that Jacob Chansley, who participated in the riot sporting face paint, no shirt and a fur hat with horns, was “led through the Capitol by police the entire time he was in the building.”

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Court documents and video footage from the attack on the Capitol make clear that Chansley, who is widely known as the “QAnon Shaman” and is one of the most recognizable Jan. 6 rioters, entered the Capitol without permission, was repeatedly asked to leave the building and was not accompanied at all times.

THE FACTS: After Fox News host Tucker Carlson broadcast Jan. 6 security footage previously unseen by the public on his Monday night primetime show, social media users began sharing segments from his program that misrepresented Chansley’s involvement in the riot.

The tweet includes a clip from Carlson’s show in which Chansley can be seen calmly walking around the Capitol with officers in tow. Similar social media posts received hundreds of thousands of additional likes and shares.

But the footage in these posts, provided to Carlson by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, leaves out important context about Chansley’s time in the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.

A statement prepared by the Department of Justice, which was signed by Chansley and his attorney, provides a timeline of the rioter’s movement in the Capitol.

For example, the statement explains that Chansley entered the Capitol through a broken door as part of a crowd that “was not lawfully authorized to enter or remain in the building” and that he was one of the first 30 rioters inside. It goes on to note that although officers asked Chansley and others multiple times to leave the Capitol, he did not comply and actively riled up his fellow rioters. The statement describes Chansley’s interactions with officers, but also points out that he “entered the Gallery of the Senate alone.”

Many of Chansley’s actions on Jan. 6 are documented in video footage from that day.

I agree. They never should have been there. Stupidity is not a defense. Having said that, habeus corpus is still a thing isn't it? none of them should still be in jail.

Breaking in and trespassing are jail-able offenses.

Also there are at least two possibilities about that cop.

1. He was on their side.
2. He was deescalating the situation, a common tactic in riot control.

You mean they should have received shorter sentences? Well it's a federal offense so what do I know.

You're probably right. They all were caught up in the moment. Mob mentality. Mob mentality is very dangerous.

Did you see felonies? If not, none of them should still be in jail. In a free country that is. Do you want a free country? I hate to ask but sometimes I wonder.

Of course I want a free country. It is the Trump GOP that doesn't.
