Jacob Chansley, the man once labeled the “QAnon Shaman,” is speaking out about his January 6 experience in a powerful new interview. He claims he went to the Capitol to peacefully protest and even tried helping police during the chaos. The media painted him as a violent rioter, but Chansley insists he was there to stand up for election integrity and American values.
Chansley describes enduring 27 months in prison, including over 10 months in solitary confinement. He says the harsh conditions broke him physically and mentally. Guards allegedly mocked his beliefs and denied him basic human dignity. These details reveal what he calls the “real cost” of resisting the political establishment.
A Bible verse transformed his darkest moments. Chansley credits Psalm 82 with giving him strength, saying it reminded him that “truth will always defeat lies.” This spiritual awakening helped him reframe his struggle as a battle for America’s soul against dark forces.
He blames corrupt leaders and globalists for weaponizing the justice system against patriots. Chansley claims his prosecution was meant to scare others from questioning power. “They want to crush dissent,” he says, arguing that January 6 defendants are political prisoners in a two-tiered system.
The interview highlights Trump’s 2024 election victory as a turning point. Chansley claims the “silent majority” finally pushed back against communist ideologies eroding freedom. He sees Trump’s win as proof that America rejects globalist agendas and woke extremism.
Media lies about January 6 are a central theme. Chansley denies storming barricades or attacking officers, insisting footage shows him praying quietly. He accuses networks of spreading propaganda to demonize Trump supporters and justify endless persecution.
Now free, Chansley vows to keep fighting through legal means. He urges conservatives to vote, run for office, and expose corruption without fear. His message: “The system wants you silent. Never stop speaking truth.”
The interview ends with a call to protect America from those who “hate our way of life.” Chansley frames current struggles as part of a centuries-old fight for liberty. Love of country, faith, and family, he argues, will always triumph over tyranny.
