The lawyer for the so-called "QAnon Shaman" who stormed the U.S. Capitol shirtless and wearing a horned bearskin headdress said his client regrets being "duped" by former President Donald Trump, and that the former president "invited" his client and thousands of other supporters to the Capitol on Jan. 6. Let's roll the months of lies, and misrepresentations and horrific innuendo and hyperbolic speech by our president designed to inflame, enrage, motivate," Watkins told the news outlet. Watkins had previously pled with former President Trump to pardon Chansley before leaving office. 'QANON SHAMAN' CAPITOL RIOTER WANTS PARDON FROM TRUMPDespite issuing dozens of pardons to his political allies and even to rapper Lil Wayne, Trump did not pardon anyone who stormed the Capitol earlier this month. Chansley's mother, Marth Chansley, told Fox News she has "no comment" at this time.
