Advocates for freedom who are calling for the release of January 6 political prisoners received a bump from a prominent player in the information battlefield. Twitter CEO Elon Musk joined the choir declaring “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley should be released instead of being imprisoned for his 42-month prison sentence
And he did it in three words:
Free Jacob Chansley https://t.co/8BbeXF2Fye

Chansley’s story was one of the highlights of Tucker Carlson’s first release of January 6 footage earlier this week. In it, he showed how Capitol Police were not only ignoring the “dangerous” Chansley, but a couple of them were giving him a guided tour of the Capitol Building.
He also showed Chansley saying a prayer on behalf of law enforcement.
Recently resurfaced video showed Chansley reading Donald Trump’s Tweets calling for people to go home. This may be what prompted Musk to call for him to be freed.
