Shirtless, Horned QAnon Supporter Says He Regrets Getting 'Duped' by Donald Trump

It didn't take long for some pro-Trump rioters to (supposedly) turn on their commander-in-chief.

Following the arrests of more than 100 Capitol rioters, legal teams are preparing their defense after Donald Trump left office without pardoning anyone charged in connection with the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol building.

With no presidential pardon in sight, the attorney for one of the most notorious rioters, the horned, shirtless QAnon follower Jake Angeli, says his client evidently regrets being "duped" by Trump, pushing the blame on the former POTUS who is now facing his second impeachment proceeding because of the deadly riot.

“The request was of extraordinary value in that it accorded Trump an opportunity to do what his followers believed would have been the ‘honorable’ thing to do,” Angeli's attorney Al Watkins said, according to KMOV4. “Mr. Chansley, along with many others who were similarly situated, are now compelled to reconcile a betrayal by a man whose back they felt they had for years."

getting caught. I'm sure he thought they'd be successful, or that Trump would at least have their back and pardon them. Sorry stupid. You lose.

No matter how stupid he admits he is, he is a danger to the nation. Throw the book at him.
