Jacob Chansley, aka the ‘QAnon Shaman’ pleaded not guilty to the multiple charges against him connected to the Capitol riot.
Chansley entered his plea Friday at an arraignment in federal court in Washington, according to Bloomberg.
Chansley has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
He is one of the most recognizable insurrectionists from the riot on Jan. 6 in his fur headdress and horns.
During the hearing on Friday, Albert Watkins, his lawyer tried to portray Chansley as non-violent and truly spiritual, calling him “a man of faith in shamanism, a long-standing faith,” Bloomberg reports.
Watkins also asked the judge to ensure that his client receives organic food in jail because if he eats non-organic food he’ll suffer from a “debilitating” bacterial response, resulting in dehydration.
Earlier this month it was reported that the Shaman was not eating in jail because there was no organic food options available.
Watkins said his client, who felt duped and betrayed by Donald Trump, is willing to testify in the impeachment trial in the Senate.
Trump ally Lindsey Graham pleaded with Democrats not to call the ‘QAnon Shaman” to testify in the trial, because it would be a “complete circus”.
