QANON SHAMAN: I WAS RAILROADED!

BUFFALO-horned bully boy Jacob Chansley — the notorious QAnon shaman stormed the U.S. Capitol last year dressed in furs, red, white and blue face paint and waving an American flag en route to a 41-month prison sentence for his crimes! But in an exclusive interview from his Virginia cell block, the self-proclaimed "patriot" told The National ENQUIRER he's "still screaming for freedom from behind the bars of an unjust system" after being betrayed by false promises!

Tattooed and shirtless Chansley, 34, was photographed egging on fellow conspirators via a megaphone during the Jan. 6 invasion and now he's told The ENQUIRER he got a raw deal.

"I've always looked up to Martin Luther King, Jesus Christ and Gandhi because they had the courage to speak the truth during a time of mass deception. That's what I've been doing," the poster boy for Capitol Hill chaos told The ENQUIRER.

Before speaking with The ENQUIRER, Chansley, who also goes by the name Jake Angeli, said through his former attorney Albert Watkins he regretted being put in a position "to make decisions he should not have made."

He insisted he was only in the Capitol that fateful day to "bring divinity and to bring God back into the Senate."

The former Arizona resident claimed he simply "sang a song" and attempted to create "positive vibrations in a sacred chamber." However, federal lawmen said he also ominously left a note for then Vice President Mike Pence that read: "It's only a matter of time. Justice is coming!"
