'QAnon Shaman' Spills The 'BS' That Made Him Get Off The Trump Train

Jacob Chansley, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, signaled his disgust with the "fraud" president on social media last year.

Jacob Chansley, who became known as the “QAnon Shaman” after rocking a horned headdress and makeup during the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, is reiterating why he no longer supports President Donald Trump.

“The man, alone, refusing to release the Epstein client list was enough for me, and I think a lot of other people, to be like, ‘OK, this is bullshit,’” the convicted rioter recently told CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan.

Five years ago, Chansley carried a spear into the U.S. Capitol building and sat in a seat that had been occupied by then-Vice President Mike Pence on the Senate floor earlier in the day. Chansley later pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of an official proceeding and served 27 months in prison before an early release in 2023. He has since disavowed the QAnon movement, The Associated Press reported.

Chansley was one of about 1,500 people charged with Jan. 6-related crimes to receive a pardon from Trump early last year. By year’s end, he signaled his disgust with Trump over the administration’s support for Israel in its war in Gaza as well as the handling of files tied to the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

“Fuck this stupid piece of shit... What a fraud...,” Chansley wrote under a mugshot of Trump in a since-deleted X post last year.
