Jacob Chansley, also known as the “Qanon Shaman,” took to social media Monday to celebrate being pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Chansley was among the more notable attendees of the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol building after photos of him wearing face paint and a horned headpiece spread widely across social media. He later earned additional recognition when he filed paperwork to run for Congress.
Trump signed a slew of executive orders on Monday, including one measure to provide clemency to Chansley and about 1,500 others charged as a result of the riot. He also directed the U.S. attorney general to press for the dismissal of about 450 other cases against these individuals.
“I JUST GOT THE NEWS FROM MY LAWYER... I GOT A PARDON BABY!” Chansley wrote on X. “THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!! NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!”
“I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!” Chansley continued. “GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! J6ers are getting released & JUSTICE HAS COME... EVERYTHING done in the dark WILL come to light!”
