Jacob Angeli, known as the "shaman" from the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, told RIA Novosti that his political career was likely over after he became the face of the riot. Politics is like "wrestling with alligators in a swamp, so I do not regret it," he said. In late 2023, Angeli announced that he wanted to run for US Congress but missed the deadline to submit nomination petitions. Angeli said he was not planning to run for Congress again unless he would be asked to do that, adding that the campaigning part was a burden. Angeli pleaded guilty to charges related to the January 6 US Capitol riot and was sentenced to 41 months in prison in November 2021. He was granted early release in spring 2023.

January 6 Shaman: Bull Horns Pretty Much Ended My Political Career
08:35 06.01.2025 (Updated: 09:28 06.01.2025) NEW YORK (Sputnik), Jacob Angeli has become the most recognized participant of the January 6 US Capitol attack in 2021 due to his extravagant outfit, which included bull horns and a fur headdress.
Jacob Angeli, known as the "shaman" from the
attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, told RIA Novosti that his political career was likely over after he became the face of the riot.
"The horns and the face paint, I think, pretty much ended whatever political career I might have. But that's fine," Angeli said in an interview when asked if he had any plans to pursue a political career after a failed bid for the House seat.
Politics is like "wrestling with alligators in a swamp, so I do not regret it," he said.
In late 2023, Angeli announced that he wanted to run for
US Congress but missed the deadline to submit nomination petitions.
Angeli said he was not planning to run for Congress again unless he would be asked to do that, adding that the campaigning part was a burden.
Angeli pleaded guilty to charges related to the January 6 US Capitol riot and was sentenced to 41 months in prison in November 2021. He was granted early release in spring 2023.
