JD Vance refers to Jan. 6 "QAnon Shaman" as "a fun guy to have a beer with," in resurfaced video

JD Vance is making headlines for a variety of unanticipated reasons this week — accused of both making love to a literal couch and searching online for sex-specific dolphin content. And the hits keep coming.

Amidst rumblings that Donald Trump is perhaps regretting choosing Vance as his running mate — now that Biden has made way for a stronger match with whomever the presumptive Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, taps to join at her side in any upcoming debates — Vance's background is being heavily researched, and much of it is being served up as easy "not this guy" fodder.

The latest in a string of derogatory Vance content is a resurfaced clip from a 2023 event, in which Trump's #2 is shown referring to Jacob Chansley, AKA the Jan. 6 "QAnon Shaman," as a "fun guy" who got a bad rap for his participation in the Capitol riot.

"This guy who was sentenced to four years in prison for literally walking around in the Capitol . . . We were taught it was a crazy guy with, like, the bullhorns, you know what I'm talking about? He looked like he’d be a fun guy to have a beer with, right? The Q shaman, that's what they called this guy," Vance says in the clip, which can be seen below.
