Los Angeles- They were second, but the scene became a symbol of the violent insurrection at the Capitol of supporters of US President Donald Trump. A man disguised as a bison, wearing a horned cap and no T-shirt momentarily presides over the U.S. Senate, fist raised, in the midst of chaos.

This hilarious sequence starred Jake Angeli, a member of the Qanon conspiracy theory movement who calls himself “Yellowstone Wolf” on his YouTube channel, in which he argues that there is an alleged network of child pornography and sex trafficking. of minors addressed by Democrats, among other ideas.

His presence at the Capitol went viral on social media and caught the attention of thousands of people, who wondered where this character came from, who was interviewed by Efe in November.

His beginnings in Arizona

A native of Phoenix, Angeli, 27, attended Efe in the days following the November 3 presidential election, in front of the Maricopa County polling and counting center in that state.

“Yellowstone Wolf” described himself as a “chosen one” sent by Qanon, a group formed in Internet forums and labeled by the FBI as a potential threat of domestic terrorism.

Far from talking about violence and with an ear-to-ear smile, Angeli explained that his duty is to “inform” the community of the various scandals that the Democratic Party allegedly hides, such as human trafficking, interference in government. American, or electoral fraud against Trump.

If compared to Gandhi

Although he had been seen in other rallies in favor of the Republican president, the days of protest in front of the polling center in Maricopa were his first major public appearance, in which he caught the attention of major media. .

In this context, he argued that his intent was to “defend Trump’s votes in Arizona” through “civil disobedience,” as other great historical leaders did.

“We are facing the global narrative that Biden won through civil disobedience, as Gandhi, Jesus, or Martin Luther King did,” he said, with the painted face of the U.S. flag

Rhetoric that works

His live message spread among Trump supporters present at these protests in Arizona, in part because of his high capacity for rhetoric and a harsh but singular voice.

Thus, he became one of the keynote speakers at every event in Phoenix during this week, whether in front of this polling station, City Hall, or the State Capitol.

These repeated performances led to him being one of the protagonists of Trump’s “vote defense,” at the level of ultra-conservative radio presenter Alex Jones.

In less than two months, Angeli moved from the gardens of the Arizona Capitol to the well-known esplanade of the Washington DC Capitol, where she also gave several speeches before the uprising, according to various social media profiles.

After entering the federal building and reaching the Senate with his comrades, “Yellowstone Wolf” momentarily presided over the upper house, starring in an image that will go down in history.
