Probably looking to score a quick buck, perhaps get a gig as a commentator on some nutjob network.

It's a 60/40 Trump district.

His image is an asset.

Most folks are sane. The rest are criminals or politicians. That may be redundant, but they aren’t considered synonyms, anyway.

Civil Disorder; Obsrtuction of an Official Proceeding; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building; Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building

Those were his charges.

Which one would fall under the 14th amendment?

His lawyer stated that he does have diagnosed mental health issues.

In an interview, defense lawyer Albert Watkins said that officials at the federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, have diagnosed his client Jacob Chansley with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.

He's an insurrectionist.

The 14th Amendment applies to him the same way it did to Cuoy Griffin.

The insane are going to run the nut house.

Why would anyone vote a schizophrenic into office? That's not fair for the schizophrenic--the pressure alone would be enough to set them off. I have had very close friends with this illness (one was maid of honor at my wedding) and I would be concerned about leaving them in charge of a poodle, let alone government!

imo, not very well.
One of the larger voting block in the district are retirees. A lot of GOP and Independent voters within that block. Not so much Libertarian voters.

No way would I vote Chansley.

Not true.

Chansley is a seditionsist trumptraitor. Under the 14th Amendment, he is NOT PERMITTED to hold ANY OFFICE.
