WASHINGTON — A conservative influencer was arrested in California on Jan. 6 charges, including helping to steal a table from a Capitol conference room that the FBI says was used to assault officers just feet away at the lower west tunnel, where some of the most brutal attacks on law enforcement took place.

Isabella Deluca, a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump, was arrested in Irvine, California, on Friday, according to court records unsealed on Monday. She faces five charges, including a count of theft of government property.

Deluca, according to the FBI, can be seen "removing, and aiding and abetting other rioters in removing, a table from ST-2M" — an office in the Capitol — "and passing it to rioters outside through another broken window." The table "was subsequently used to assault law enforcements officers guarding the Lower West Terrace Tunnel," the FBI said.

Deluca has racked up hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and was formerly an ambassador for the conservative group Turning Points USA. She says in an online bio that she interned for Former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., and for Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz. (Zeldin left office in 2023 and lost his New York gubernatorial race in 2022.)

Wonder if this deplorable felt like she was totally out of the woods. And then whammo!
I also think a lot of the still-on-the-lam ones are constantly looking over their shoulders. Hard way to live a life.

And think about all the jobs/relationships/etc. that you'll never be able to experience with these on your records.

defense will be that she only thought the table was going to be used to have all the parties involved come up to sign the new Constitution.

I would bet some of her fellow prisoners might do some bad stuff to her!

Couldn’t happen to a better “B”
