Fox News host Tucker Carlson has called for a lawsuit to be filed against Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney over her role in the imprisonment of Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon Shaman.” Carlson believes that Cheney committed a crime against Chansley and against the justice system by supporting his incarceration.
Chansley was arrested in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot and spent over two years in jail before being released on March 30th. Carlson has been an outspoken critic of Chansley’s imprisonment, arguing that he did nothing wrong and was simply a political prisoner.
“Liz Cheney and others like her were complicit in the wrongful imprisonment of Jacob Chansley,” Carlson said on his show. “She should be held accountable for her actions and made to pay for the harm she caused.”
It is unclear whether Chansley intends to file a lawsuit against Cheney or any other individuals involved in his imprisonment.
