A conservative social media influencer is facing federal charges for allegedly breaching the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and helping pass a stolen table out a broken window, according to court records made public Monday.
Isabella Maria DeLuca, who boasts more than 333,000 followers on X, was arrested last Friday in California, more than three years after the chaos at the Capitol.
The 24-year-old Long Island native and former congressional intern was one of several rioters who allegedly passed a table from a US Senate terrace room to others outside the building that was then used against law enforcement, according to the feds.
DeLuca posted on social media about the violent scene the day of the Capitol riot and in the days afterward, including how she was Maced, according to the court docs.
Around 3 p.m. Jan. 6, DeLuca replied to a Twitter post stating, “Fight back or let politicians steal and election? Fight back!”
When an Instagram user messaged her on Jan. 7, 2021, about why she supported breaking into the Capitol, DeLuca allegedly replied, “According to the constitution it’s our house.”
She said in a later post she had “mixed feeling” about Jan. 6.
“People went to the Capitol building because that’s Our House and that’s where we go to take our grievances,” she wrote on Jan. 14, 2021, per the court docs. “People feel, as do I, that an election was stolen from them and it was allowed.”
When she was interviewed by the feds weeks after the riot, she denied entering the Capitol, according to the affidavit.
DeLuca wasn’t silent on social media Monday as her legal troubles became public.
