A lawyer for the QAnon Shaman who claims his client was following President Trump's invitation when he stormed the US Capitol says a lot of the MAGA rioters are 'retarded' and on the 'goddamn spectrum'. 'A lot of these defendants - and I'm going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully - but they're all f***ing short-bus people,' Watkins said. 'These are people with brain damage, they're f***ing retarded, they're on the goddamn spectrum. He told the judge during a pre-trial hearing in March that Chansley had gone to the Capitol 'like Forrest Gump' at Trump's invitation. He was later filmed walking through a doorway into the Capitol after rioters broke windows.
