Elijah Schaffer是保守派媒体BlazeTV的记者。1月6日他随抗议者一同进入了国会大厦，甚至还去佩洛西的办公室“一游”。针对网上疯传的那位带着牛角帽赤裸上身打扮成维京人闯入国会的男子是黑命贵（BLM）或Antifa假冒川粉的说法，他给出了如下辟谣：
People keep saying this guy is Antifa or BLM, he is not

Please stop spreading disinfo
I’ve spoken to him in depth on camera in Arizona
He’s a huge supporter of Qanon & regularly walks around w/ a sign saying “Q sent me”
How does this stuff keep spreading?

网上视频显示不止一个记者曾经采访过这位自称名为安杰利（Jake Angeli）的亚利桑那居民：
We’ve gotten a lot of info about Jake Angeli, or Jake Chansley, who is from Phoenix. Our team has documented him at all kinds of protests/rallies over the past year. I shot this myself at an anti-mask rally in Scottsdale, June 2020. #12News pic.twitter.com/vEEO0IuVFe

以挖掘隐私著名的英国媒体《每日邮报》整理报导，「牛头人」安杰利现年32岁，来自亚利桑纳州，是著名的阴谋论派系「匿名者Q」（QAnon）追随者，在其同温层内通常被尊称为「匿名者Q萨满法师」（QAnon Shaman），自称本职是演员和歌手。
《亚利桑那共和报》去年10月刊出阴谋论专题报导，数次提起安杰利，当时他在阴谋论者的世界就以角盔和裸半身打扮闻名，四处在集会上宣传QAnon的传说和理念。
自从安杰利闯国会出名后，堪称阴谋论鼻祖的媒体人Alex Jones也连线采访了他：
安杰利据说的确曾出现在黑命贵的集会场合，但是以反对者的身份参加的。
Jake Angeli, 32, AZ- is not part of Antifa. Yes he was at the BLM rally in AZ, but as a counter protestor. People keep cropping out his sign (second photo) that says “Q sent me”. I’m already sick of the deceit. pic.twitter.com/onuWgjXn8f

当然，即便安杰利不是Antifa或者黑命贵渗透嫁祸挺川活动，并不能说明没有这种渗透存在。
1月6日在华府举行的名为MAGA百万游行集会（Million March Rally）的活动，现场人山人海，但据各家媒体报道闯入国会的只有几百人。可见大部分挺川民众都是和平参与的普通百姓，包括来自全美各地的华人。但媒体镜头却聚焦在一小部分奇装异服、带着铁钩打破玻璃、身强体壮能学蜘蛛人翻墙、甚至看上去有点搞笑的“暴乱分子”身上，让人不禁觉得这是一场设计好的演出。其中的“演员”到底有多少是Antifa、黑命贵、QAnon还是真的铁杆川粉，就不得而知了。
I attended the rally today. Hundreds of thousands of people peacefully assembled. I saw families, nuns, Amish, elderly… all there to support the President. I’m very sorry that the peaceful demonstrators overshadowed by the rioters. They don’t speak for everyone pic.twitter.com/fXwYkJEs22

WASHINGTON DC: There are at least 100,000+ people just in the overflow for the event

畅销书作者斯科特·亚当斯（Scott Adams）在推特上发表的这番话耐人寻味。他说：“从现在起，似乎每一次合法的抗议活动都将被实施暴力和破坏的坏人渗透。这就是公众抗议终结的开始。言论自由已经消失了一半。”
From now on, it appears that every legitimate protest will be infiltrated by bad actors perpetrating violence and destruction. That's the beginning of the end of public protest. Free speech is already half gone.
