Pro-Trump Republican aiming to unseat Ilhan Omar charged with felony theft

[Poiuyt]

A pro-Trump Republican candidate for Congress who is aiming to unseat Ilhan Omar in Minnesota has been charged with a felony after allegedly stealing from stores.

Danielle Stella was arrested twice this year in Minneapolis suburbs over allegations that she shoplifted items worth more than $2,300 from a Target and goods valued at $40 from a grocery store. She said she denied the allegations.

Stella, a 31-year-old special education teacher, was reported this week to be a supporter of the baseless “QAnon” conspiracy theory about Donald Trump battling a global cabal of elite liberal paedophiles.

---

Stella is accused of stealing 279 items valued at $2,327.97 from a Target store in Edina, to the south-west of Minneapolis, on 8 January this year. She was arrested for the alleged theft after security staff called the police.

A criminal complaint filed to Hennepin county district court alleged Stella was seen leaving the store without paying for most of her haul, after “scanning only a few other items” that were valued at about $50.

The complaint said Stella told police in a statement she “remembers arriving at Target to purchase items but nothing else” due to post-traumatic stress disorder, and that she “normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people”.

1. Goodluck with that campaign *rolls eyes*

As a fellow Minnesotan the Dem sentiment here is that Ilhan is more popular than ever. This crazy QAnon person has zero chance of winning.

9. Yep. nt

2. :) and I'm not a fan of Rep. Omar. Except (!),

for her statement in support of representative government and belief that outsiders should not flood into a district to overset the true choice of locals. (My recall, not her actual words.) Rather contrary to Justice Democrats' zealous beliefs, of which she is a member, but hopefully there is substance behind her words.

3. Sounds like she needs an emotional support shark...

4. She went shopping for some clothes, and yada yada yada, I'll see her in six to eight months.

6. There was a picture of Stella floating around Facebook yesterday that made her look so

sweet & innocent.

My thought when I saw that was that usually the Republican candidate in Minnesota's 5th District is considered a sacrificial lamb, now they appear to be planning to sacrifice a virgin.

13. KK I showed this pic to my 18 year old daughter

We talk politics a lot, and she is well aware of the squad, I filled her in on this clown's attempt to take on Iihan. THEN, I showed her this picture.....after almost pissing herself she said, "Never trust a chick that can't put false eyelashes on right."

I trust her!

7. Geez, that is a fair amount for Target.

Looks like she has got in trouble for stealing again since that first arrest. Tsk tsk.

14. Thou

Shall not steal! How 'bout those family values!

15. GOP reply: "SHE'S PERFECT!!!"

drool on floor goes largely unnoticed.

16. How do you steal 279 items in one haul?

She has a DUI too.
