Jacob Chansley aka the Qanon Shaman who days ago was reported to be refusing to eat prison food because it wasn’t organic or something is now begging for a presidential pardon. His attorney argues that since Trump “invited him” to march to the Capitol, and that he Jacob Chansley didn’t break into the Capitol, but instead “allegedly” walked trough open doors to enter the restricted building. How about no pardon for Jacob. Trump said march to the Capitol, not enter restricted buildings. These Qanon nutters with their “trust the plan” BS are as bad as the left. They deserve whatever crap they get.

“Mr. Chansley is an American; he served honorably in the U.S. military. He has zero criminal history. He is a lover of nature, routinely practices meditation, is an active practicer of yoga and eats only organic food. He took seriously the countless messages of President Trump. He believed in President Trump. Like tens of millions of other Americans, Chansley felt — for the first time in his life — as though his voice was being heard.”
“My client had heard the oft-repeated words of President Trump,” Watkins continued. “The words and invitation of a president are supposed to mean something. Given the peaceful and compliant fashion in which Mr. Chansley comported himself, it would be appropriate and honorable for the president to pardon Mr. Chansley and other like-minded, peaceful individuals who accepted the president’s invitation with honorable intentions.”
During a glitchy interview with CNN host Chris Cuomo, Watkins claimed Chansley walked through doors that had been held open by Capitol Police.
“My client did not break into the Capitol,” said Watkins. “My client had the doors to the Capitol held for him by Capitol Police. My client did not shroud his face in secrecy, he wasn’t wearing a bulletproof vest. My client was not armed, he didn’t have zip ties. My client fought, or was in the military, served honorably. No criminal background whatsoever. And he, like a lot of other disenfranchised people in our country, felt very, very, very solidly in sync with President Trump. They felt, he felt, like his voice was for the first time, being heard.”
