Federal prosecutors revealed in a motion filed against the Capitol rioter known as ‘QAnon Shaman’ that the latter left a threatening message to Vice President Mike Pence during Wednesday’s chaos.
Jacob Chansley, the Arizona looter who sported a Vikings’ hat with horns inside the Capitol as it got stormed by the pro-Trump’s crowds, has surrendered to authorities in Phoenix.
“Strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government,” prosecutors wrote in the motion filed to keep Chansley behind bars.
They alleged that Chansley climbed up to the stand where Pence had just been moments earlier and wrote: “It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.”
The veep had been rushed out of the room to safety by the Secret Service and US Capitol Police as the rioters closed in.
