'QAnon Shaman' Slams Trump as a 'Fraud'

You know it's bad when you lose the QAnon Shaman.

Jacob Chansley, better known as the "QAnon Shaman" from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, took to social media this week to condemn President Donald Trump

Trump pardoned Chansley and nearly 1,600 other Capitol rioters on the first day of his second term

Despite long supporting the MAGA president, Chansley is now calling Trump a "fraud" and questioning his ties to both Israel and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

I'd say welcome to reality but I'm not that deluded.

None of this Epstein stuff is new and Trump has done so much terrible stuff. Why is this the thing that seems to be finally disillusioning part of the MAGA crowd? What's any different from before? Trump always lies, projects, and deflects, so whatever the nuance that's causing him to bleed some support is this time, it's eluding me.

Again, all this was (I would think) known before. But if this flips the switch, so be it.

I have some half cousins that are dyed-in-the-wool hillbillies with passels of kids and assorted baby mamas and baby daddies and they all claim that their kids are the most important things in the world and they would do anything for them.
