Republican Hypocrisy Watch, Part II: Elect Me And Reduce Crime!




Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has nothing to worry about if this is the best Republicans can do in her district:
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.
This week Stella also described Minneapolis as “the crime capital of our country”. [Ed.: Nope. It ranks #20.] She has in the past complained that local police were “overworked and overburdened” and said that, if elected, she would work to reduce crime. [Ed.: by getting out of Minneapolis and moving to Washington, DC?  Good plan!]
She's quite the hot mess -- or, in other words, a Republican.

Obligatory clip for Ms. Stella:
