Heathens condemn storming of Capitol after Norse religious symbols appear amid mob
The flags emblazoned with “Jesus 2020” and the cross, the most easily recognizable symbol of Christianity, were hard to miss amid the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6. But they weren’t the only religious symbols that appeared during the siege.
One of the most photographed rioters was a shirtless man wearing fur, horns, and red, white, and blue face paint. Jake Angeli, better known as the “QAnon Shaman” or “Q Shaman,” also sported several tattoos of symbols associated with Norse paganism, known as heathenry.
