Fox News host Tucker Carlson unveils Jan. 6 video that shows Capitol police escorting protesters through building, including 'QAnon Shaman,' on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
One of the most recognizable figures from that day is Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman." Chansley was captured in photographs and video footage wearing a fur hat with horns and carrying a spear adorned with an American flag. He quickly became a symbol of the unrest and chaos that engulfed the Capitol that day.
Chansley was arrested and charged with several crimes, including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. He was ultimately sentenced to 41 months in prison, a punishment that many have criticized as excessive.
Recently, Fox News host Tucker Carlson released video footage that shows Chansley calmly and peacefully walking through the Capitol, escorted by police officers. In the video, Chansley is seen speaking with officers and even leading a prayer inside the building. The footage contradicts the popular narrative that Chansley was a violent and dangerous participant in the events of January 6.
The release of this video has reignited the debate over Chansley's punishment, with many arguing that he was unfairly targeted and sentenced for crimes that he did not commit. Some have called for his sentence to be commuted or for a new trial to be held in light of this new evidence.
