Capitol Police Served as ‘Tour Guides’ for Q-Anon Shaman on Jan. 6: Tucker Carlson

The face of the Jan. 6 incursion—the so-called “Q-Anon Shaman” Jacob Chansley—was peacefully escorted around the U.S. Capitol by police on Jan. 6, Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleged on March 6 in his first special based on exclusive access to 41,000 previously unseen hours of Capitol security video.

Carlson presented CCTV footage of Chansley calmly walking through the Capitol in Jan. 6, 2021. Carlson stated that Chansley was not stopped by police officers, but they also escorted Chansley.

“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” Carlson shared his thoughts with the national television audience. “The tape shows that Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.

“Capitol Police officers accompany him at multiple entrances. They even attempt to unlock locked doors.” Carlson said. “There are at most nine officers within striking distance of Jacob Chansley.

“Not one of them even tried to slow him down. Chansley understood that Capitol Police were his allies. Video shows him giving thanks for them in a prayer on the floor of the Senate.”

Carlson claimed that three weeks was spent in Washington by his producers. “unfettered access” Thanks to Kevin McCarthy, the House Speaker (R-Calif.), security footage was made possible by Kevin McCarthy. He said that much of the huge video cache was insignificant, including footage from empty rooms. He said that Capitol computers were used by producers to pinpoint the times and places of interest.

Chansley was a cartoonized character by Legacy media and most of the Democrat establishment after January 6, 2021. Shaman was quickly recognized as the most famous American man, walking shirtless and wearing a animal-fur headdress, with horns.

Chansley agreed that he would plead guilty to the September 2021 charge of hindering an official proceeding. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced Chansley to 41 month imprisonment in November 2021. Prosecutors wanted a 51 month sentence.

‘He Should Be Killed’

Chansley was not charged with violence on Jan. 6. Chansley did not vandalize any buildings. He sat on the U.S. Senate rostrum and strolled the Capitol’s halls. He was sentenced to one of the most lengthy prison sentences among more than 1000 Jan.6 defendants.

“Contrast the reality of what Jacob Chansley did in the Capitol Building on Jan. 6—the indisputable facts recorded on video, some of which has never before been seen—with the depiction of Jacob Chansley that you’ve seen in the media for more than two years,” Carlson said. “‘He’s a terrorist,’ they said. ‘He should be killed.'”

Chansley was referred to as a traitor by the government and his supporters were urged to go to Washington Jan. 6, to face their accusers. “stop the steal,” Stop corrupt politicians from advancing their agenda.

Open-source videos show that Chansley used a bullhorn on Jan. 6 to exhort protesters to leave.

“I was on the Senate floor. I was sitting in Biden’s chair,” Chansley explained to French television station “Quotidien” The afternoon of January 6 “It was fun.

“We are fighting spiritual war with the communists as well as globalists.” Chansley said. “They desecrate sacred places as a way to fight spiritual warfare.  Senate is considered a sacred place. The Senate is an abode of truth and lies, which has been its home for many decades.

“So, I said a prayer inside of that chamber,” Chansley spoke to Laura Geisswiller, reporter “I said a prayer inside the Senate, one that banishes all evil, one that welcomes the Divine Creator, God, into our lives and into the Senate once again.”

Ray Epps ‘Lied’

The Fox Fox Special also featured a major new development: Ray Epps (mysterious Jan. 6-provocateur) lied about it to House Select Committee investigators.

Epps claimed that he was claiming to have been a thief when he texted his nephew Jan. 6, at 2:22 p.m. “orchestrated” Carlson stated that he was a part of the demonstrations, and had helped to get people to Capitol Hill.

“Tonight, we can tell you that at the very least, Ray Epps lied in his sworn testimony to the January 6 Committee,” Carlson said. “Epps testified that when he sent the text messages to his nephew, he had already left the Capitol grounds to return to his hotel room. That is not true.

“We found surveillance footage that shows Ray Epps actually remained at Capitol for at most another 30 minutes.” Carlson said. “So, now we need to know what Epps was doing. While we don’t know the answer, we do know that Epps lied to investigators.”

Epps was captured on viral video on Jan. 5, 2021, encouraging protesters to enter the Capitol the next day. On Jan. 6, he stood at the Ellipse near the White House and urged everyone to walk to the Capitol. He was at the first breach point of police lines near the west front of the Capitol, and charged across barricades with the crowd at another breach point.

Epps was never arrested or charged. He has repeatedly denied working as an undercover agent or informant for the government.

Carlson saved his strongest words for the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee headed by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), which he accused of lies and deception.

The committee’s role “I was not to investigate any of it.” Carlson said. “It was intended to present a TV show trial. The tone was comically heated and polemic from the beginning. Democrats were quick to liken the Jan 6th protests with any other American tragedy.”

Carlson’s series on the Jan. 6 tapes will continue on March 7 with an interview of former U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Tarik Johnson, based on investigative reporting by The Epoch Times.

Johnson was in Florida the first week of March taping interviews with Carlson. He is expected to discuss the breakdown in radio communications in the Capitol Police Command Center, and what he described as the repeated failure of then-Assistant Police Chief Yogananda Pittman to authorize evacuation of the U.S. Senate.
