U.S. Capitol rioter Jacob Chansley, in any other case often called the “QAnon Shaman,” stated Monday that he’s going to purchase some weapons after being pardoned by President Trump.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!” Chansley, who was photographed contained in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a horned helmet, painted face and naked chest, wrote on X. “NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!! I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!”
“J6ers are getting released & JUSTICE HAS COME…EVERYTHING done in the dark WILL come to light!” he added.
