Jacob Chansley, sentenced to three years for his role in the Capitol riots, will run as a libertarian in Arizona.
will run as a libertarian in Arizona
Neither of these surprises me.
Libertarians are just Republicans in disguise
Jacob Chansley can eat a whole cauldron of gently boiled dicks.
He’s vegan or something. Remember how butthurt he was in prison because the food wasn’t up to his standards?
White people, man…
Why “gently”, though?
He has very specific dietary needs. His mommy said so.
The 14th Amendment disqualifies him.
It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.
I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.
EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.
Good deal. Let him siphon off the republican vote.
This guy is t elligible…. Trump might be able to weasel it, but this guy was an insurrectionist through and through.
Is that even legal?
Unfortunately, yeah. Can’t vote but can be voted into office.
If you’re part of an insurrection, you shouldn’t be able to run for any public office anywhere.
If Germany would have had this same rule/law the whole world in this timeline would look completely different.
As much as I want to say no, to my knowledge he technically hadn’t “previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States” so I think he’d be eligible under Amendment 14, Section 3, article 1… quoted here in full:
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Though, he had previously been in the US Navy, and the Navy oath of enlistment begins "“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…,” he was not even an officer in the Navy let alone in a legislative, executive or judicial branch position.
Pretty sure he would be eligible to run this time, whereas trump would not.
He should be required to wear that costume the entire time on the campaign trail.
He should be in jail.
No argument here. But if he’s out and running, no one should forget what a weirdass goofball he is.
If only he’d wear it during hunting season, maybe with some female elk piss on it?
I feel bad for Jamiroquai that this asshole stole their mascot
Felons can’t run for office
He and Bimbert can have a dumb-off for that seat.
Republicans stopped using “cuck” as an insult because the person who epitomizes what they’re all about wore horns.
