'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley is sentenced to 41 months in prison

Ten months ago, the bare-chested US Capitol rioter nicknamed the 'QAnon Shaman' became the face of the January 6 attack when he thundered into the Senate chamber in his horned fur hat and brandishing a spear, but at his sentencing on Wednesday there was no sign of the ferocious insurrectionist. Prosecutors had asked US District Judge Royce Lamberth to impose a longer 51-month sentence on Chansley, who pleaded guilty in September to obstructing an official proceeding when he and thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the building in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election. The sentence matches one imposed by a judge on a former mixed martial artist Scott Fairlamb, who was filmed punching a police officer during violence, who was sentenced last week to 41 months in prison. Capitol rioter Jacob Chansley, known as the 'QAnon Shaman,' was sentenced on Wednesday to 41 months in federal prison. Pictured inside the US Capitol armed with a spear Chanlsley was one of thousands of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol building on January 6 to stop the certification of President Joe Biden Lamberth said he believed Chansley, who made a lengthy speech before he was sentenced, had done a lot to convince the court he is 'on the right track.'
