What is january 6 shaman?

Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman" or "January 6 Shaman," gained national attention for his prominent role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Chansley was seen wearing a horned fur hat, face paint, and carrying a spear during the riot.

He is a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely claims that a secret cabal of deep-state elites are involved in child trafficking and other nefarious activities. Chansley has also been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump.

In March 2021, Chansley was arrested and charged with multiple crimes related to the Capitol riot, including violent entry and disorderly conduct. He has been held in custody since then.

Chansley's lawyer has argued that his client's mental health issues, including diagnosed with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, played a significant role in his actions on January 6. However, others have criticized Chansley's behavior as dangerous and misguided.

As of October 2021, Chansley's case is still ongoing, and he is facing a possible prison sentence if convicted.
