Trump ran conspiracy theories that the results of the 2020 presidential election were fraudulent and that he was the winner. He also invited supporters to Washington, DC, on January 6 to support him in a protest.
Trump told supporters to walk to the Capitol, where Congress certified the Electoral College votes, but said never to break in or endanger people. However, he called the rioters ‘special people’ that same day in a video.
Chansley has been involved in many protests in Arizona, where he was photographed with a “Q sent me” sign, referring to the far-right Qanon conspiracy theory that claims Trump is fighting an underground circle of satanic pedophiles in the federal government.
Some rioters hoped for a presidential pardon before Trump left office, but none of them got one. There have been more than 100 arrests, and more will come as the FBI continues to investigate the case.
