Add Noise to the text, You can mess around with the settings until satisfied

 

[OPTIONAL] Step 3

Effects > Object > Outline Object...

If wanted, Outline the text for better readability.

Effects > Distort > Jitter...

Jitter the text, Like with step 2, Mess around with the settings until satisfied, Higher Settings means Higher Distortion

Here are some variants:

Shift the channels using Channel Shift...

 

You will have to repeat the same action with each channel, You cannot do more channels in one.

 

"Spread" Away Channels from each other with every channel, Follow some examples below this image.
