Elections QAnon Shaman to Run for Murican Congress

[Orgasmo]

Well since Congress is already a cesspool, having more pieces of shit won't hurt.

Jacob Chansley would like to return to the scene of his crime.

Chansley rose to American infamy as the "QAnon shaman," becoming the face of the January 6, 2021 seige on the US Capitol, which sent congressional lawmakers scrambling in fear for the exits.

Now he thinks he might like to work in the building he attacked.

Chansley is considering running for a US Congress seat in the 2024 election, representing his home state of Arizona.

"He recently filed his initial paperwork with Arizona's Secretary of State's Office, indicating that he planned to run as a Libertarian for the state's 8th congressional District, The Arizona Republic reported.

Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko now holds the seat for the district, which is made up of suburbs surrounding Phoenix. Lesko recently announced she would retire in January instead of seeking reelection in 2024."

"Notable candidates thus far include Blake Masters, who failed to cinch a seat in the Senate in 2022, and Abe Hamadeh, who lost his race to be Arizona's attorney general the same year."

Good for him! His prison stint seems to have turned his life around.

"One of the first rioters to breach the Capitol, Chansley issued an apology after pleading guilty to his crimes. He served 27 months behind bars in a 41-month sentence. Once released, he suggested that he wanted to reverse his guilty plea.

Though as a convicted felon he can't vote, that doesn't prevent him from running for office."

Of course he is. He's an intelligence agent.

First thought it being AZ is he wouldn’t be able to win. I believe they have a system which tries to create very competitive districts.

Seems backwards he can run office but can't vote. I'm all for all felons getting their voting rights restored after their time is served.

People with felonies can vote after theyve completed their sentence, its a common misconception that they lose the right forever

For a lot of people, a scary number of people

Q is the ONLY source of truth and proof.

I remember him. The snowflake that went on a hunger strike in jail because he couldn't eat an organic diet.

That's only true in Vermont and Maine.
It used to be comit a felony, and you no longer vote for the rest of your life, but that has been changing over the last 40 years or so.

If you are a first time felon, you can apply to have voting rights reinstated after sentence/parole/probation are all done, but you do need to apply, and your results may vary state to state, &/or crime comitted. If you aren't a first timer you need a pardon in order to vote again. BUT, the rules do vary state to state.
