The chancellor, who pleaded not guilty to two felony and four misdemeanor charges, sabotaged the song inside the Capitol, but claimed to prevent others from wreaking havoc.
“Well, I sang a song,” Chansali continued. “And this is part of the embarrassment. It is about creating positive vibrations in a sacred chamber. I also prevented people from stealing and vandalizing that holy place, the Senate. Okay?”
Chancely, who has apologized for the storm at the Capitol, insisted he prevented the rioters from “stealing muffins” from a break room inside the building.
