Republican Danielle Stella, aiming to unseat Ilhan Omar, charged with felony

Not a viable, credible, stable candidate.....next?
[NY Post] A Minnesota congressional candidate hoping to unseat Ilhan Omar with promises of being tough on crime faces felony shoplifting charges, according to a report.

Danielle Stella, 31, was arrested twice this year in the thefts of 279 items worth more than $2,300 from a Target and $40 worth of goods from a grocery store, The Guardian reported.

"I am not guilty of these crimes. In this country I am innocent until proven guilty and that is the law," the special-education teacher told the news outlet.

"If I was guilty of crimes, I would never run for public office, putting myself in the public eye under a microscope to be attacked by all political sides," added Stella, who this week described Minneapolis as "the crime capital of our country."

Stella told police that 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," according to a criminal complaint cited by The Guardian.

An arrest warrant was put out for Stella for alleged contempt of court on April 4 after she failed to show up for a court hearing in the Jan. 8 Target case, the paper reported, citing police and court records.

On April 28, she was arrested in nearby Bloomington, Minnesota, for allegedly stealing a bottle of tick spray for cats, according to the report.

#1 If she works on the not getting caught thing or co-opts the press, she has the makings of a successful political career.

#2 So she violated the social rituals by directly looting the population rather than using the process of Congress to raise taxes on the same population. Just another RINO (do I need to put a /sarc on that?). Remember, first get elected, then do the looting.

#3 As I commented yesterday, the GOP seems to let way too many of this type into primaries, with predictable results.

#4 Both are perfectly aligned with their district
