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 hed 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.
Chansley pleaded guilty to obstructing Congress during the insurrection and was ultimately sentenced to 41 months in prison. He was granted early release from federal prison in March 2023 and transferred to a halfway house in Arizona to serve until his release on May 25, 2023.

No, I'd call his mental state self-evident.
During a 2020 interview on ORF, Chansley declared that "in order to beat this evil occultic force you need a light occultic force ... [you need] a force that is of the side of God, of love ... almost like on the side of the angels ... as opposed to the demons." In reflecting on the Capitol storming, Chansley said that "What we did on January 6 in many ways was an evolution in consciousness, because as we marched down the street along these ley lines shouting 'USA' or shouting things like 'freedom'... we were actually affecting the quantum realm."
