Jacob Angeli Chansley became one of the most recognizable faces of the January 6 Capitol attack due to
viral images of him in a fur hat with Viking horns and red, white and blue face paint as he stormed the building. Once a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, Chansley now appears to have completely reversed his stance. "Oh yeah [and] F*** Israel! And F*** Donald Trump!" he recently wrote on X.

Jacob Angeli Chansley continued his tirade, taking direct aim at President Donald Trump. Commenting under a photo of Trump's mugshot, he wrote, "F*** this stupid piece of s*** … What a fraud," according to
Faketriots Watch. He then shifted focus to actor and Trump supporter
James Woods, questioning his past and political loyalties. "Did you go to Jeffrey Epstein Island too, James? Cuz I am beginning to look closer… Didn't your house survive the L.A. fires too? Nothing about Epstein?" he wrote, adding, "You're not holding Trump accountable… I know the routine, James… I try to give people their privacy… But I'm gonna let you cook…"

Jacob Angeli Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison in November 2021 after he was photographed entering the Senate chamber during the Capitol riot. He was transferred to a halfway house in 2023, and two years later, he was among more than 1,500 individuals pardoned by President Donald Trump for their involvement in the attack.
