QAnon Shaman's bizarre new legal defence: Trump was his 'first love'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The lawyer for Jacob “QAnon Shaman” Chansley says his client felt an attraction to former President Donald Trump akin to that of a first love.

Al Watkins made the bizarre claim at a news conference after Mr Chansley pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday to obstruction of justice for his role in the January 6 insurrection.

“He had a fondness for Trump that was not unlike the first love a man may have for a girl, or a girl for a man, or man for a man,” Mr Watkins said.

“The first love always, always maintains a tender and soft spot in the heart of the lover.”

24. As an aside:

I always thought the most brilliant aspect of the scene was that they almost “got” Jake and Elwood even while falling to their Deaths. I saw the film when it came out in theaters and I will tell you that watching that on the big screen for the first time was stunning and that little coda at the end was remarkable. The audience en masse burst out laughing.

It'd never work out. TFG doesn't like anyone whose skin is different colors.

“He had a fondness for Trump that was not unlike the first love a man may have for a girl, or a girl for a man, or man for a man,” Mr Watkins said.

20. Okay, I can't leave this alone.

"..not unlike the first love a man may have for a girl, or a girl for a man, or man for a man.”

CORRECTION: "...not unlike the first love a man may have for a woman or a woman for a man, or man for a man, or a woman for a woman.”

There, that's better!

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Or, "Boy" Instead of "Man"

Because most people have their first flame while they're still kids.
If people feel compelled to say "girls" instead of "woman", they could at least refer to the males as " boys".

[FakeNoose]

30. Not smart to broadcast this just before going to prison

[The Mouth]

31. I've gone from hating this guy to really feeling pity

Mental illness is a sad thing.

The fact that someone who seems to suffer from it exhibits love and admiration for the
lying wanna-be dictator racist scumbag we loath makes it too easy to laugh at this person who genuinely seems to need help.

I can no more ridicule this poor fucker than I can a member of our homeless community similarly sidelined from functional human society by something that seems more like illness than evil.

I hope he gets the help he needs; we've gotta be better than making fun of people who have something wrong with them. As easy and fun as it is to ridicule him, it can cause us to lose sight of our REAL enemies, the Murdochs, , the Kochs, the evildoers in nice suits in air-conditioned boardrooms who do the real evil.

[malthaussen]

32. I suppose this means if I had raped my first love I'd get a bye? n/t

[Mr. Ected]

35. This is also known as the "we have no legal defense but my hairdresser thought this might just work"

defense.
