'█████ Shaman' Jacob Chansley files paperwork stating he intends to run for Arizona state house as Libertarian

[essentialsaltes]

Chansley was described by prosecutors in his Jan. 6 trial as "the public face of the Capitol riot." He stood out from the rioters who stormed the Capitol, shirtless with a horned headdress at the dais where Vice President Pence had been presiding at the certification of the 2020 election.

As a felony convict, Chansley can run but not vote in the election.

You guys have some absurd laws up there.

His first objective as a Congress person will be to change the diet in prisons by serving healthy organic food.

Him wearing the silly hat and warpaint was an attention-seeking action, and since he is a convicted felon, few other good jobs are available. Fortunately, Congressional work has no limitation on criminal behavior or criminal history, so it is the type of job an attention-seeking criminal would naturally gravitate towards. I don't think Phoenix area voters will vote for such a character.

About people with "heavy" criminal records running for office? While it's very unusual, it's not unheard of.

Are you familiar with the story of DC mayor Marion Barry?

Hmm. Thats a good start. I suspect its the nose under the new-right, new-age camels tent tho.
