SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty ImagesOne figure stood out among the mob that stormed the Capitol Wednesday: the "Q Shaman," Jake Angeli. Known for wearing red, white, and blue face paint and a horned helmet, Angeli has become a notable figure in the QAnon conspiracy-theory movement, popping up at far-right rallies in Arizona in the last year, as The Arizona Republic reported.
QAnon, the far-right conspiracy theory baselessly alleging that Trump is fighting a "deep-state cabal" of pedophiles and human traffickers, has played a massive role in organizing nationwide "Stop the Steal" protests in the two months since President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
