A Capitol Rioter Has Become a Right-Wing Media Darling. She Just Got Arrested.
The popular influencer’s “persecution” is now a cause célèbre.
Isabella DeLuca’s “persecution” is now a cause célèbre.
In the three years since the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, more than 1,300 participants have been charged with crimes. But outside a few of the flashiest and most memorable characters from the day, most individual prosecutions have passed with little public note. Last Monday, however, the news of one arrest was met with more outrage: that of Isabella Maria DeLuca, a 24-year-old conservative influencer.
According to prosecutors, on Jan. 6, 2021, DeLuca—who was arrested on Friday—entered a set of conference rooms inside the Capitol building by climbing through a broken window. She then climbed back out and was one of several people who passed a table from a Senate terrace room to rioters outside the building. The FBI testified that rioters later used the table to attack Capitol Police.
Around 3 p.m. that day, she tweeted, “Fight back or let politicians steal an election? Fight back!” Later, according to the arrest warrant, she would express her hopes that Trump would enact martial law.
Why the extreme delay on her arrest?
There were a lot of people there that day that all descended from the same family tree with not enough branches. Kind of hard to issue an arrest warrant for basic bitch number 67. Thankfully, most of the people are very proud and loud about their participation, so I assume we'll get trickles of these as old influencers get sent to jail and new influencers start bragging about their participation in attempts to take their place before they also get sent to jail, continuing the cycle of fuck around and find out.
These are the traitors Trump is calling hostages.
She wants martial law? Does she realize that'd mean soldiers would have shot her on January 6th?
