‘QAnon Shaman’ Breaks Out Mocking British Accent When Grilled By BBC Host About Jan 6 Guilty Plea
BBC NewsNight’s interview with Jacob Chansley – known as the “QAnon Shaman” – derailed in the most bizarre way when the interviewee refused to say why he pled guilty to his role during the January 6 Capitol riot and instead dropped a baffling British accent to mock host Victoria Derbyshire.
Hours after his inauguration ceremony President Donald Trump issued sweeping pardons for more than 1,500 Capitol riot offenders, including Chansley. Chansley, from Arizona, rose to prominence for his distinct shamanic-style dress on that day when he and other Trump supporters entered the Capitol building following the then-incumbent president’s 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden.
The interview with the BBC kick started with a bang with Chansley mocking the host and slamming her employer repeatedly, as she continued to press him to answer her questions.
As Derbyshire asked whether Chansley had entered the building to overthrow the election, he replied: “I did not go into the building for that reason. And the fact that you still think that I did just shows how distorted the media lens actually is.”
Insisting that it wasn’t her intention to narrativize his story, she questioned Chansley about his guilty plea, pointing out that he pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding, to which Chansley deflected by citing the Supreme Court.
