Last week, a first-time Libertarian candidate filed paperwork declaring his interest in filling outgoing Republican Congresswoman Debbie Lesko’s seat in Arizona’s 8th District, which encompasses northwest Phoenix suburbs. This event likely would have gone unnoticed if not for the name of that Libertarian candidate: Jacob Chansley.
Chansley, of course, was attacked as the “public face of January 6th” and pled guilty to a felony charge of obstruction in September 2021 — ultimately “earning” him a sentence of 41 months.
Earlier this year, Chansley’s case took a very interesting twist with the emergence of footage showing him being escorted around by police — footage Chansley’s former lawyer says he wasn’t allowed to see. Tucker Carlson featured this video as one of his last broadcasts before being fired by FOX. (You can see this footage, as well as read my reaction at the link below.)
Roughly a week later, I wrote another article featuring Chansley, this one ripping into the mainstream media for ignoring the video evidence and attacking the messenger instead of doing actual journalism. (“It came from Tucker!” they said, backing up my point from earlier today.)
Now Chansley is free, running for office (no donations, he says — just shop the merch store), and sitting down with me (virtually) to spend some time Screaming into the Void!
We’re still working out the timing, but the two of us will be discussing Chansley’s candidacy (why the Libertarians?), his political positions (from a libertarian angle), the Deep State and what can be done to counter it, election integrity, censorship, and much more!
So, Screamers, what (additional) topics should we discuss? Let me know below! Comments on this article will be sorted by “top” to make it easier to keep track of the popular questions — please upvote instead of (or in addition to) making a duplicate comment!
This is short, so there’s room for a bonus pic of G! (He goes crazy for salad scrapings.)
Hell, yeah! He's gotta have more brains than John Fetterman! We want to know how he got started with the costumes, why he got involved in 1/6, why is he running for office, who is behind his campaign, and WHAT REALLY HAPPENED outside the Capitol and WHO WERE THE CIA/FBI stooges who rallied the troops into the building?
Who's behind his candidacy for this? Or gave him the idea, or was this of his own choice? Libertarians usually don't win statewide or fed office races so this is curious.
