Iconic insurrectionist Jacob “QAnon Shaman” Chansley was treated as an honored guest of far right extremist Arizona state Senator Anthony Kern in the Capitol building in Phoenix last week, allowed to access certain areas not typically open to the public, the Arizona Mirror reports.
“I was looking at [Kern’s] guests and thinking ‘wow that guy looks familiar,'” said Dem state Senator Priya Sundareshan, who had seen Chansley around outside the state Capitol holding a sign saying “Q SENT ME!” before he became the face of the US Capitol riot. “I hope we don’t see a whole parade of others coming but he is, of course, the most prominent symbol,” Sundareshan said.
Chansley, currently running as the Libertarian candidate in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, then testified at a state Senate Appropriations Committee meeting for some fucking reason.
