Jacob Chansley, also known as the \u2018QAnon Shaman\u2019, gave his first interview from jail and pushed back against claims that his role in storming the Capitol was an \u201cattack on America.\u201d Police \u201cwaved\u201d him into the building, he said.<\/p>\n

Chansley, who became perhaps the most recognizable face of the Capitol riot on January 6, as images of him shirtless and wearing bull horns quickly went viral, has spoken out ahead of a Friday hearing that will determine whether he will be released from jail ahead of his trial.<\/p>\n

In an\u00a0interview with 60 Minutes Plus reporter Laurie Segall, Chansley claim that police officers\u00a0\u201cwaved\u201d<\/em>\u00a0him into the Capitol building and this made him believe it was\u00a0\u201cacceptable\u201d<\/em>\u00a0to enter, though he now regrets his decision\u00a0\u201cwith every fiber of my being.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Chansley said it was the\u00a0\u201cunfair\u201d<\/em>\u00a0treatment of Donald Trump by the establishment that made him such a loyal supporter.<\/p>\n

ALSO ON RT.COM<\/span>US Capitol Police call for National Guard to be deployed for another TWO MONTHS, citing threats \u2013 media<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u201cI developed a lot of sympathy for Donald Trump because it seemed like the media was picking on him and seemed like the establishment was going after him unnecessarily or unfairly, and I had been a victim of that all of my life, whether it be in school or at home,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Though he remains loyal to the former president and believes he\u00a0\u201ccares about the Constitution,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he now feels\u00a0\u201cwounded\u201d<\/em>\u00a0after he and others were not given a pardon for their part in the Capitol riot before Trump left office.<\/p>\n

Chansley is one of hundreds that were arrested for storming the Capitol on January 6 shortly after Trump gave a speech telling supporters at a rally in Washington, DC to\u00a0\u201cfight like hell\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and promoted election fraud conspiracy theories. The riot left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer.<\/p>\n

Chansley said, however, that his part in the incident was smaller and more positive than most people think, claiming he even stopped people from vandalizing and stealing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy actions on Jan. 6. How would I describe them? Well, I sang a song,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Chansley said.\u00a0\u201cI also stopped people from stealing and vandalizing that sacred space. OK, I actually stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the break room.”<\/em><\/p>\n
