If only he'd been paying attention

The QAnon Shaman misread the cues from the beginning. And also, he didn't pay attention to the last four years.

The man known as the “QAnon Shaman,” who was seen shirtless and wearing bull horns in the U.S. Capitol during the deadly rioting on Jan. 6, said in his first interview since being jailed that he was "wounded" that former President Trump did not offer to help him.

In the interview, "60 Minutes+" reporter Laurie Segall asked Jacob Chansley if he regretted his loyalty to Trump.

[...]

"I honestly believed and still believe that he cares about the Constitution, that he cares about the American people, and that's also why and you know it wounded me so deeply and why it disappointed me so greatly that I and others did not get a pardon," Chansley added.

[...]

Chansley requested a pardon shortly before Trump left office, a request that was not granted.

Though he remains loyal to Trump, Chansley said he regrets entering the Capitol "with every fiber of my being."

What's that old saying? Oh, yeah: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, also shot back at assertions that his actions were an attack on the U.S., saying that characterization was "inaccurate entirely."

“My actions on Jan. 6. How would I describe them? Well, I sang a song,” Chansley said. “I also stopped people from stealing and vandalizing that sacred space. OK, I actually stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the break room.”

LOL.

“I consider myself a lover of my country. I consider myself a believer in the Constitution. I consider myself a believer in truth and our founding principles. I consider myself a believer in God,” he added.

So look at the bright side: God will give you a pardon.

I could use an explanation as to why he's known under two different names.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
