One of the most famous participants in the storming of the Capitol, “shaman” Jacob Anthony Chansley, said that former US President Donald Trump “betrayed” him. This is reported by the Vice portal.
“Shaman” claims that Trump’s words, after which the assault began, were “nothing more than an invitation to go to the Capitol with the president and fight there as if in hell”.
“The nature and circumstances of this crime must be viewed through the prism of an event inspired by the US president,” – said the lawyer for 20 — year-old assault participant Emanuel Jackson.
Another protester, Garrett Miller, apologized for his social media posts, justifying himself by saying they were made at a time “when Donald Trump convinced him that America’s election was stolen”.
